Yikes. This is a big problem!
We need a good water filter!

What is PFAS?

I asked CHATGPT to explain in a way that even a junior high school student could understand!

Is the Water You’re Drinking Really Safe? – The Reality of PFAS Contamination and the Need for Water Purifiers
The tap water we casually drink might actually contain “toxic substances that never break down.” Did you know that?
That substance is PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Once hailed as the “chemical of the future,” PFAS has been widely used in waterproofing, water-repellent coatings, fire extinguishing agents, and more. However, this substance doesn’t break down in the human body or the environment, leading to widespread contamination of water sources globally, and it’s now even present in tap water.
The Dangers of PFAS: Health Risks
Scientific research suggests that PFAS can cause various health issues, including cancer, immune system suppression, hormone imbalances, infertility, and developmental disorders. Once accumulated in the body, it is difficult to expel, and even small amounts carry long-term risks.
In Japan, PFAS has been detected in the tap water of many municipalities.
“You’re safe because the water in your city is fine”—but can you truly be confident?
Water Purification Systems Aren’t Enough
You might think, “The water department manages it well, so there’s no issue.” But that’s not the reality.
Standard water treatment methods can’t fully remove PFAS from tap water.
So, what should we do?
The answer is to use a high-performance water purifier.
Regular Water Filters Won’t Cut It! High-Performance Filters are Essential for PFAS Protection
While regular household water filters can remove chlorine and bad odors, they can’t handle microscopic chemicals like PFAS.
However, high-performance water purifiers equipped with activated carbon filters can remove over 99% of PFAS.
You might hesitate thinking, “High-performance purifiers are expensive…”
But think about it:
**What if it meant lifelong protection for your health and your family’s well-being?
**What if it reduced future medical expenses and health risks?
For just a few yen a day, you could significantly reduce the harmful substances accumulating in your body.
It’s Time to Choose Truly Safe Water, Not Just “Somewhat Safe” Water
In the future, drinking unfiltered tap water will be a risk.
Choose “truly safe” water, not just water that “seems fine.”
Now is the time to invest in a high-performance water purifier to protect your family’s future.

What Exactly Are Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFAS)? 🤔
PFAS (pronounced “Pee-Fass”) refers to a group of chemicals with many different types. These chemicals are water- and oil-repellent, and have been used in a variety of products, such as:
✅ Non-stick coatings for frying pans 🍳
✅ Waterproof and stain-resistant clothes and shoes (raincoats that are resistant to water) 🧥
✅ Burger wrappers (oil-resistant paper 🍔)
✅ Fire-fighting foams (special foam that puts out fires quickly 🔥)
Though incredibly useful, PFAS poses a serious problem…💦
What's so dangerous about PFAS？🚨
Among PFAS, the substances **PFOS and PFOA** are said to be particularly dangerous. The reasons for this are...
❌ They don’t break down naturally (they remain for decades 😨)
❌ They accumulate in the body (ingested through water and food 😵)
❌ They spread far and wide (moving through water and air 🌀)
As a result, rivers and soil get contaminated, and these chemicals accumulate in animals and humans.
What is Japan doing about this？🇯🇵
Recently, Japan has taken measures like banning the use of PFOS and PFOA, as well as setting safety standards for tap water. However, there are still products and residues from the past, so continued investigation is needed.
What Can We Do？🌍
- Choose products that are PFAS-free (look for the “PFAS-free” label! ✅)
- Reduce use of bottled water and food packaging (many disposable items contain PFAS 💡)
- Adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle (be mindful not just of PFAS, but also of waste and water usage!)
The PFAS problem won’t disappear overnight, but if we all stay conscious and take action, we can protect the environment for future generations! 🌱✨
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) refers to a group of organic fluorine compounds, including perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, with over 10,000 substances identified. Among these, PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid) and PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) have been used in a wide range of applications. Due to their properties of being difficult to degrade, highly accumulative, and capable of long-distance movement, efforts are being made in Japan to regulate and manage the risks associated with these substances.。
Grateful to everyone in each region!
