Professor Stuart Harrad, an expert in water ecology, emphasizes that the data obtained confirm serious contamination of water resources with perfluorinated compounds. He also notes that PFAS can be effectively removed from water using simple methods such as boiling or filtration, highlighting the importance of accessible technologies to reduce the negative impact of these substances on human health.
It should be noted that PFAS molecules have a high ability to accumulate in the human body, which can lead to significant buildup in organs and tissues. Accumulated research shows that PFAS can negatively affect thyroid function, the reproductive system, and increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Thus, the problem of contamination of water sources with perfluorinated organic compounds requires a comprehensive approach, including both technological measures for water purification and further research into their toxicological effects.
