A Discussion on PFAS
Recently, PFAS has been highlighted as a harmful substance in various media. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a general term for organic fluorine compounds that contain carbon and fluorine atoms.
PFAS has properties such as water and oil repellency, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and non-absorption of light. It also has characteristics like being fire-resistant and non-conductive, making it useful in various aspects of daily life and industry. PFAS has been used in everyday items like frying pans and food packaging. However, some types are difficult to break down and can accumulate in the body, raising concerns about their toxicity. In fact, there have been cases in Japan, such as in the Tokyo Tama region and Okinawa Prefecture, where PFAS levels exceeding standards have been detected in well water used for drinking, affecting our drinking water. The source of this contamination is believed to be the foam components used in fire extinguishers.
Osmo sells various cartridge filters, including activated carbon filters that are effective in removing PFAS.
