Not only is it in rain water, the level often exceeds the US guidelines for lifetime(!) intake. I wonder how cancer rates among tribes and off-grid homes will increase, as those dewllers aren't likely boiling their rainwater.
This is probably going to have to get a lot worse before it gets better, like the leaded gas problems of the 1960s.
- gizmo686 4y agoDoes boiling water actually help with chemical contamination. The main benefit is killing microorganisms. The heat can also destroy some toxins, but as far as I am aware PFAS stick around at boiling temperatures.
- jb1991 4y agoBoiling doesn’t help with forever chemicals.
- samus 4y agoOff-griders and preppers are likely able to deal with this, as they can incorporate appropriate filter systems into their setups. If they are aware and care about them of course.
