What Are Forever Chemicals?
According to WJCL News, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are expanding free water testing near Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. They are checking for PFAS.
PFAS are man-made “forever chemicals" once used in firefighting foam that may harm health over time. PFAS have been discovered in the base’s soil and groundwater. Now, testing is being offered for private wells in nearby neighborhoods. If high levels are found, the Navy and Marine Corps will supply bottled water or install filtration systems at no cost to residents.
Why Should You Be Concerned?
PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are synthetic compounds found in everyday products like non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, and even firefighting foam.
The problem? They don’t break down naturally, and they’re showing up in drinking water across the country, including right here in the Lowcountry. Studies link PFAS exposure to serious health concerns, including hormone disruption, immune system issues, and certain cancers. That’s why Pure Way’s advanced whole-home filtration is designed to remove up to 99.99% of these harmful contaminants, giving you and your family greater peace of mind with every sip.
