Rapid urbanization has effects and consequences. One is the release of PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate) and PFAS (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) in drinking water. PFOS and PFOA are water and stain-resistant synthetic compounds that are difficult to break down in the environment and in the human body. Some of the health effects of PFOS/PFOA may include:
- Developmental delays
- Reproductive health issues
- Neuroendocrine issues affecting the kidneys and liver
- Cancer
- Thyroid imbalances
- Cardiovascular concerns
The use of a multi-purpose water filtration system such as the WH-NS MULTI-PURPOSE CARTRIDGE WITH NANOSMART® FILTRATION system helps remove broad spectrum of contaminants such as sediment, taste and odor, chlorine, chloramine, scale, microbial, lead, volatile organic compounds, and PFOS/PFOA.
This article provides a brief overview of the specifications and product features of the WH-NS MULTI-PURPOSE CARTRIDGE system.
