Do you have products that remove PFAS (PFAO/PFOS)?
Yes! Our LifeStraw Home pitchers and dispensers are among the most effective household products available for reducing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from drinking water.
Our dual filtration technology combines:
- Membrane microfiltration
- Activated carbon
- Advanced ion exchange
Together, these elements are highly effective at reducing PFOA and PFOS—the most well-known and studied types of PFAS. LifeStraw Home filters also meet NSF P473 standards, which validate PFAS reduction performance.
What Are PFAS?
PFAS are a large group of human-made chemicals often referred to as "forever chemicals" because they don’t easily break down in the environment. Over time, they accumulate in soil, water, wildlife, and even humans.
The most widely used PFAS compounds are:
- PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid)
- PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate)
Why Are PFAS a Concern?
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to certain PFAS may lead to health risks, including:
- Developmental effects during pregnancy
- Increased risk of testicular or kidney cancer
- Liver damage
- Weakened immune response
- Disruption of thyroid function and cholesterol levels
