PFAS: The Invisible Chemicals That Outlast Generations
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are among the most persistent pollutants ever created. Dubbed “forever chemicals”, they resist degradation for thousands of years, accumulating in water sources, soil, and even human blood. A 2024 EU report on drinking water contaminants identified PFAS in over 70 % of tested groundwater samples across Europe.
Why Carbon Filtration Isn’t Enough
Conventional activated carbon filters can reduce certain PFAS compounds, but their effectiveness declines rapidly as the filter saturates — and they fail to capture short-chain PFAS, which are now the most common forms in modern products. Once these compounds enter the water supply, they bind strongly to proteins and bioaccumulate, potentially disrupting hormonal and immune functions.
The Molecular Solution
At Klar2O, our multi-barrier filtration systems are engineered to neutralize both long- and short-chain PFAS through advanced adsorption and molecular separation technologies. By targeting pollutants at the sub-nanometer scale, Klar2O ensures protection where conventional filters reach their limits — securing truly clean, chemical-free water.
