Research takes a long time, and regulations even longer – which means that it is always too late. It is therefore good to realise which substances are in our drinking water and what they do to our body. To share the knowledge, ZeroWater has drawn up extensive dossiers on various substances, such as PFAS, lead and chromium.
Some poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can pose a health risk. PFAS enters the body through, for example, unfiltered drinking water and food. It can affect the immune system and, in the worst cases, even cause cancer.
Nowadays, there is much more research and it appears that PFAS is a major problem. The discussion about PFAS is therefore very topical. Via our PFAS dossier you can closely follow all changes and discoveries in the field of PFAS.
ZeroWater considers the attention to pollution of our drinking water important. That is why we are completely transparent about what can be found in the water and what our filters can filter. Click on a fabric to read more information. You will also immediately discover the impact on health.
