Yup. Same as Viagra, cocaine, birth control, diabetes meds, penicillin, thyroid meds, high blood pressure meds, high cholesterol meds, etc etc etc.
AFAIK there are zero treatment plants in the world that are capable of removing forever chemicals and the drugs we take to get high or stay healthy.
Welcome to the 21st century. Ain’t it grand!
Could these be removed via evaporative distillation?
I’m aware the treatment plants don’t distill water, but it could be useful on the personal level. I could probably distill 20 gallons a day without much draw on the solar production.
That’s about the only way to do it. Then you’d have to add the minerals, etc that would be missing from it.
Not to mention the astronomical amount of energy required to do that. Boiling water is insanely energy intensive at scale you would basically need to dedicate nuclear power plants to treatment facilities
