In the Boston area, our water comes from the Quabbin Reservoir. That's largely fed by rain, as far as I am aware. How much PFAS actually gets filtered out? Probably not much.
- lulzury 3y agoYou can actually easily find this information online [0] > PFAS compounds, used since the 1940s for many purposes, from stain and waterproofing to firefighting, continue to be a concern. Tests of MWRA water show only trace amounts of these compounds, too small to be quantified, and well below the state standard of 20 parts per trillion. MWRA results are also well below recently proposed EPA standards.
