The legal limit for PFAS in drinking water is 0.07 PPB. But that hides the fact that not all PFAS chemicals are created equal. The EPA limit for PFOS and PFOA and GENx varieties are 1000x lower. I pretty much guarantee you and your family have been massively over exposed to a large number of PFAS and PFAS intermediate degradation products well above the EPA limit.
