Removing it from tap water seems like a great first step for mitigation. But what about preventing them in water in the first place? We shouldn't be using these chemicals. Period. Sure we're hooked on them now, but sunken cost is a terrible reason to continue down a bad path. We use these chemicals largely because industry kept finding more and more ways to use manufacturing byproducts. In theory that's great and all, but we avoid questioning if we should change that manufacturing process instead. A little pain now can avoid a mountain of pain later if we're actually willing to think ahead and question what we have today rather than focusing on what the next step forward is without ant context of how or why we got here.
