Maryland

Hence our hesitation with the move.

As you might know, these "forever" contaminents are all around, but seem to be more concentrated in certain areas. What's worse, in terms of drinking water, is that PFAS and PFOS is not screened out by most water filters and is present in many, if not most, bottled waters..That said, you can google search the filters and bottled waters that DO screen for PFAS and PFOS...My husband just installed a 3 stage filter system with granular charcoal (GAC), which does screen for them.

On a more optimistic note, the environmental PTB do seem to be getting more pro- active on the issue. I've even subscribed to a couple of Maryland news outlets (including the one linked to in your post) to keep up with new developments.
