The best-known producer and polluter of PFAS, Dupont Chemours, also known from the film Dark Waters, was recently summoned by a number of municipalities in South Holland.Many residents will be concerned about the consequences for their health, especially those who are pregnant for example. For control of PFAS we depend on the studies carried out by commercial drinking water companies, which may have conflicting interests. To test PFAS in drinking water as a resident, the options in the Netherlands and Europe appear to be extremely limited and expensive.Through internet I came across a US-based start-up that offers consumer test kits for just $95. The test kits are sent to your home address and can easily be returned by post. The (drinking) water is tested for various PFAS substances and the report is then emailed.When these values are too high, authorities should take appropriate action in order to protect citizens, e.g., by installing special filters. If you are interested in the possibilities that are available, drop me a line. Iβll be happy to think along with you.
