Is there universal treatment for this in most countries or does this also imply that municipal water everywhere is equally "unsafe"? Some quick Googling suggest

Is there universal treatment for this in most countries or does this also imply that municipal water everywhere is equally "unsafe"? Some quick Googling suggests common britta filters don't remove it either, for instance.
unsafe in scare quotes because the article says environmental levels have been steady for the past 20 years and we aren't all dead yet... and lots of animals of course drink rainwater more directly out of bodies of water.
It's obviously not a good thing but I don't this means "we're doomed"... the article here cites a professor saying we just have to live with it, but it would be also interesting to see if anyone had leads on removal or any sort of mitigation/protection/neutralization schemes.
