Dangerous Drinking Water in PA
This is a CRAZY SERIOUS report! reading this, it seems we should NOT be using our tap water for 'consumable things, like DRINKING or COOKING! (And that includes your pets!)
I am BEYOND shocked hat this is the situation that we are in.
Report reads:
"PFOA and PFOS should not exceed 70 parts per trillion (ppt)" ... then when your read the report for Mechanicsburg, the levels are 537 ppt!!!
And these chemicals are 'forever chemicals' .... never go away, just build up in your body and create serious disease.

Can anyone who knows way more than me, tell me if these can be filtered out with a Berkey-type filter??

Any activated charcoal (carbon) filter should be sufficient. I think the second filter (the on on the bottom) in the Berkey system is activated charcoal.ReadyMom wrote:Can anyone who knows way more than me, tell me if these can be filtered out with a Berkey-type filter??

I'll be dogged, that is Mechanicsburg, OH.
But are any of the chemicals the same down your way? If so, those filters they recommend would help, wouldn't they?
