This is not true. The NSF/ANSI standard 53 specifies that filters must remove PFOS/PFAS[1], and both reverse-osmosis (RO) units /and/ granulated activated carbon filters are certified under that standard. Granulated activated carbon filters are the same kind found in Brita filters.
For example, Samsung RWP70010TWW is a refrigerator filter approved[2] for filtering PCBs, PFOS, and PFAS, as well as a whole host of other things. You don't need to spend ten thousand dollars installing a reverse osmosis system to get clean water.
