Bluewater Scientist Ahmed Fawzy Confirms Tests Show Bluewater Water Purifiers Remove Toxic PFAS chemicals

There are 5,000 PFAS chemicals, used in firefighting foams, non-stick cookware, cosmetics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. PFAS’s don't break down and are linked to increased cancer rates, hormone system disruption, and vaccines resistance. A Bluewater Pro tested at the Stockholm Royal Institute of Technology removed 99.99% of PFAS compounds tested for, including PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and PFBS.

Bluewater water purifiers shown to remove health-threatening PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ from water

Studies by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate PFAS may be in the blood of nearly all Americans. In mid-January, 2021, a study published in Environmental Sciences Europe said around 100 million Chinese in 66 cities across China were drinking tap water with unsafe levels of PFAS.
