Video Description

An alarming study came out last year showing that 45% of the U.S. water supply is contaminated with PFAS – you may have heard of PFAS also referred to as forever chemicals. And now, in Oct. 2025 the EPA is asking courts to reverse its own drinking water standards. In this video I'll share water filters that remove 100% of PFAS! #berkey #pfas This is the map to see if your area is affected: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/map/ Berkey travel filter: https://amzn.to/3Wq6GKq Royal Berkey (this is the one I got, but it's large): https://amzn.to/3XRqveJ Zero water filter: https://amzn.to/41QyWIo Epic water filter: https://amzn.to/3R8klDb Clearly Filtered 20 ounce water bottle: https://amzn.to/4iQa1eP Clearly filtered: https://clearlyfiltered.com/products/clean-water-pitcher?variant=6334743876&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj4qCkZOw_wIVB9KGCh01QAcyEAQYASABEgJbT_D_BwE Research: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412023003069 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado6638 https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas https://www.ewg.org/research/decades-polluters-knew-pfas-chemicals-were-dangerous-hid-risks-public History of PFAS: https://www.manufacturingdive.com/news/the-history-behind-forever-chemicals-pfas-3m-dupont-pfte-pfoa-pfos/698254/ https://www.gao.gov/blog/pfas-forever-chemicals-may-be-biggest-water-problem-lead Map: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/map/ Water filters, EWG research: https://www.ewg.org/research/getting-forever-chemicals-out-drinking-water-ewgs-guide-pfas-water-filters Click here for a clean & tidy home https://www.youtube.com/@tarynmaria_?sub_confirmation=1 Join my mailing list for emails that will make your life easier https://taryn-maria.kit.com/73343eee8b My favorite cleaning items (not sponsored!): Lemi shine disposal cleaner https://rstyle.me/+PE15LlAGER_jsQ4upuylbg Steamer https://amzn.to/4dYpJCe Lemishine dishwasher cleaner https://rstyle.me/+9fy67VedBfpEeWhGZVNlVw Swedish dish/cleaning cloths: https://amzn.to/44upWd0 Bar Keepers Friend https://rstyle.me/+wMrljUz63GeNuKLjhb-XBw Magic Eraser knock offs: https://amzn.to/3TE8jk3 My toilet brush (the best!)
