But you can filter out PFAS from water...
The filtration at the levels we're talking about would add thousands of dollars to every household everywhere, all at once.
Talk about something that just is a bit more than, "but you can filter it".
The largest reverse osmosis plant in the world produces 165MGD of water, which is less than is required for any of the top 10 largest US cities, while primarily being used purely for desalination (SWRO). At the levels of filtration and membrane size required for removal of PFAS, it would nearly be impossible to cost effectively filter 200MGD+ of water for a major city.
