PFAS filtration refers to the processes and technologies used to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals used in a variety of industrial and consumer products for their water and oil-repellent properties. These substances are highly persistent in the environment and human body, earning them the nickname "forever chemicals." PFAS contamination in water supplies is a growing concern due to their potential health impacts, including cancer, liver damage, and immune system effects. The PFAS filtration industry is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.1% from USD 2.0 billion in 2024.

▸Municipal Water Treatment: PFAS filtration is used to ensure the safety of drinking water supplies. Municipalities implement filtration systems to remove PFAS from raw water sources, providing safe drinking water to communities.

▸Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Industries that use or produce PFAS-containing products may treat their wastewater to remove PFAS before discharge or reuse, helping to prevent environmental contamination.

▸Groundwater Remediation: PFAS filtration is used in groundwater remediation projects to clean up contaminated aquifers. Techniques such as pump-and-treat systems extract groundwater, treat it with PFAS removal technologies, and then return it to the aquifer or dispose of it safely.

▸Point-of-Use/Point-of-Entry Systems: Homeowners can use point-of-use (POU) systems, such as under-sink filters, or point-of-entry (POE) systems, such as whole-house filters, to remove PFAS from their private water supplies.
