What Are PFAS and Why Do They Matter?
PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a broad group of synthetic chemicals found in many industrial and household applications. These compounds were popular because of their ability to repel water, oil, and heat, which made them useful in items such as nonstick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and certain firefighting foams.
The reason PFAS (also known as forever chemicals) have become a major concern is their persistence. Some PFAS compounds break down extremely slowly, meaning they can persist in soil and water sources for long periods. Increased research has also linked certain PFAS to potential health risks such as liver damage, thyroid disease, and developmental issues, which has prompted greater public awareness.
How Can PFAS Get Into Drinking Water?
PFAS can enter drinking water supplies through several pathways. In some regions, contamination may be connected to industrial sites, landfill runoff, or areas where firefighting foams were historically used. Once these compounds enter the environment, they may migrate into groundwater or surface water sources that feed both municipal systems and private wells.
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), at least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of PFAS. For homeowners, the takeaway is simple: PFAS cannot be detected by taste, smell, or appearance. Testing your water is the first step toward making informed decisions about whether treatment is needed. That’s whereAmerican Pump and Drilling can help.
