Read about a new FDA report.

New data released by the EPA show that nearly half of people in the U.S. have drinking water contaminated by toxic “forever chemicals,” or PFAS.

PFAS have been linked to changes in children's brain including lower IQ, ADHD, and other health effects. It's not only children but concerns about causing cancer as well.

Drinking water – in public drinking water systems and private drinking water wells.

Soil and water at or near waste sites - at landfills, disposal sites, and hazardous waste sites such as those that fall under the federal Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act programs.

Fire extinguishing foam - in aqueous film-forming foams (or AFFFs) used to extinguish flammable liquid-based fires. Such foams are used in training and emergency response events at airports, shipyards, military bases, firefighting training facilities, chemical plants, and refineries.

Manufacturing or chemical production facilities that produce or use PFAS – for example at chrome plating, electronics, and certain textile and paper manufacturers.

Food – for example in fish caught from water contaminated by PFAS and dairy products from livestock exposed to PFAS.

Food packaging – for example in grease-resistant paper, fast food containers/wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, and candy wrappers.

Household products and dust – for example in stain and water-repellent used on carpets, upholstery, clothing, and other fabrics; cleaning products; non-stick cookware; paints, varnishes, and sealants.

Personal care products – for example in certain shampoo, dental floss, and cosmetics.

Biosolids – for example fertilizer from wastewater treatment plants that is used on agricultural lands can affect ground and surface water and animals that graze on the land.

Our SYNSTEC Lattice can remove PFAS and many heavy metals, + from water. We have a 3rd party report confirming much of this and will be demostrating a digestive system on a boat in Miami this month. We already have a manufacturing facility and process to produce material in large quantities.

We are looking for people and companies who understand the risks and obvious concerns and want to clean up the water we use and drink. We have a number of product ideas some of which are describes on this site (e.g. SYNSTEC Coated Gravel). We are ready to partner with others to bring this to market as quickly as possible.
