Anyone recommend a particular water filtration system for the drinking water?
Reverse osmosis filters are the most effective, particularly when it comes to PFAS. I’m not sure if it’s in one of the articles I linked previously, but I read that one of the Duke researchers that lives in Cary mentioned she uses one.
Interesting that so many people think if the govt doesn't regulate it, then it must be just fine and dandy.
What if it is regulated by the EU or California and not the EPA?
Seems many fail to realize that the industrial polluters are often involved in setting the standards for how much they get to pollute. There are even court cases against industrial polluters that showed how deep this goes (polluter puts chemical in water, litigants say that the pollutant causes harm, defendants talk to local authorities and make sure that the level found in the water is specifically cited as being below the maximum allowed (by setting a really high standard, not by lying about the found levels), litigants have to show that harm is caused at much lower levels).
Seems many fail to realize that we even had lobbyists and CEOs for industrial polluters recently appointed to head up various federal government agencies that monitor said industrial polluters.

Bottled water is excellent. It is good for health. You can buy many bottled water bottles and keep them at home.
If the water is bottled in-state, it doesn't have to pass any regulations, etc.
And, so many consumers don't know the 6-month life carbon filter in their fridge removes lots of stuff, compared to what is still in bottled water.
