PFAS in Your Water? What You Need to Know About the “Forever Chemicals” Threatening Your Health

Share This Post

When you turn on your tap, you expect water that’s safe and healthy. But what if your drinking water contained harmful chemicals that never go away, and you couldn’t even see them? At H2O Solutions, we’re committed to protecting your home’s water quality. Today, we’re shedding light on a growing concern: PFAS contamination.

What Exactly are PFAS?

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of synthetic chemicals used since the 1940s in products like non-stick pans, stain-resistant furniture, waterproof clothing, and certain firefighting foams. They’re known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t naturally break down in the environment — or in our bodies.


How Do PFAS End Up in Tap Water?

These chemicals often enter water sources through industrial waste, sewage sludge, landfills, and fire training sites. Over time, PFAS can seep into groundwater and contaminate public water systems and private wells, sometimes miles away from the original source.


Why PFAS Are Dangerous to Your Health

Research has shown that even low levels of PFAS exposure can contribute to serious health issues, including:

  • Certain types of cancer
  • Endocrine (hormonal) disruptions
  • Immune system suppression
  • Liver and kidney damage
  • High cholesterol and blood pressure
  • Reproductive and developmental problems

Because PFAS accumulate in the body, the risk increases the longer you’re exposed.


Don’t Wait for a Warning — Be Proactive

PFAS are virtually undetectable without lab testing. They don’t change the taste, color, or smell of your water. That’s why regular water testing and proper filtration are essential, especially if you live near industrial zones, airports, or military facilities.
