      And what do you do with the filter?

      They are breaking these compounds down to their constituent elements and then recombining them to make salts used in industry. If all of that is true, it sounds much better than using filters.

        You throw them back in the ocean of course, It’s a self sustaining business!

          IT’S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE PFAS. AND IT MOVES (through) US ALL.

        Maybe do both? Capture the chemicals with the filters And then send the filters to a plant to be broken down.

        What do you with activated carbon? You bury it. It often comes from sustainable charcoal itself. It’s actually GOOD for the environment.

          It’s not the charcoal that’s the problem, it’s the PFAS it absorbs. You don’t want those in the ground.

            Taking it out of the water and getting it bound up with activated carbon is a net benefit. Much less chance of it leaking back out when stuck in the carbon compared to when it was already in the water.
