INUSpheresis® for Forever Chemicals (PFAS)

Even in the most remote parts of the world, levels of so-called "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in the atmosphere have become so high that rainwater is now "undrinkable," according to newly published water quality guidelines. 

Forever chemicals are a group of man-made hazardous products known as PFAS, which stands for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances, some of which have been linked to cancer in humans. 

As the study shows, the "perennial chemicals" (PFAS) have spread worldwide in recent decades through waterways, oceans, soils and the atmosphere, and are therefore now found in rainwater and snow in even the most remote places on Earth. Rainwater is "non-potable" according to current PFAS guidelines.
