Brita's are pretty much unless unfortunately. As are most pitcher style filter systems. Faucet mounted systems are probably the easiest way to go (eg Pur), but better under the counter or household water filters do exist. Its also worth mentioning that there good chance that a water filter won't actually filter this out. Water treatment plants will often treat the water through multiple levels of filtration, reverse…
> Brita's are pretty much unless unfortunately. How do you figure that? They're the same carbon filters as found in the faucet systems.

#152I'm a libertarian, and I believe in the free market above all else, so it's important to not regulate this, because whatever else happens will inevitably be worse.

#15315 years I ago I worked on the construction phase of a microchip manufacturing facility, well actually they were adding another separate plant to make gaming chips. The computer giant that owned the land and had done so much ecological damage to the water table they had to supply the town with city water. Dead birds could be found all over the rooftops, no worms or insects were in any of the soil near the plant. At t…

#156There’s an auto supplier upstream of my town that was dumping PFAs into the drain. It’s containminated the whole river and all the lakes. The river is where my town gets our drinking water. They are installing carbon filters which should help. I use a carbon filter for all our water. The thing is we have a dixione plume approaching our water intake too. The parts per trillion is kinda mind blowing too. Take a large p…
Ann Arbor?

#158What are the current best Home Water Filter we could get? Are the Brita MAXTRA+ any good? And which one is the most affordable? ( We now need to paid extra money to get drinking water, in many ways I think this is backward as a society )
Looks like they are preparing some new tests: http://www.waterfilterlabs.com/Index.html

> This happens in many other areas of concern too. Yes, elected officials should also be required to spend 24 consecutive hours each month in the inmate population of the local jail, prison, etc. to ensure that it offers safe and humane conditions.
I'd be happy if they were just forced to use public transit for all transportation 3 days a month.

#160Note that much of the background on this issue appears to be provided by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). They are an organization which frequently promotes their agenda through scaremongering scientific claims which are frequently flat-out wrong or misrepresented. The valid stuff in the article is the stuff where the Minnesota department of health altered their allowable limits based on published scientific co…
