What’s happening to our tap water?
Let’s see what has changed in Australia’s tap water and how we should respond. Should we all use water filters? How can we avoid carcinogens such as forever chemicals in our drinking water?
What are the carcinogens in Australian drinking water?
Headlines emerged about the amounts of carcinogenic PFAS “forever chemicals” that are found in tap water around Australia. A Stan original documentary, How to Poison a Planet, looks at this issue.
Mark Ruffalo said in a release (on the Stan news website) about the documentary, “The thing that was always astonishing to me, that people made the decision to go forward with putting these chemicals in our environment - they knew what they were doing, those were decisions made by people, you can’t help but ask, what kind of people do that?”
Aussie communities are seeing the damage to human health. The Wreck Bay Aboriginal community experienced cases of cancer and heart disease. These chemicals are in every kitchen across Australia.
How to remove forever chemicals from drinking water
Get a filter jug that is designed to remove PFAS, bio-contaminants and other unwanted materials. You could start with the LARQ PreVis 1.9L Water Filter Pitcher.
You could also install a water filtering tap or attachment for the kitchen sink.
