Bluewater, a pioneering provider of advanced water purification and beverage solutions, has issued a pressing call for the urgent classification of PFAS chemicals as environmental risk factors. This call follows a recent study linking these endocrine-disrupting chemicals to cancer in women.
The study, conducted by researchers from UC San Francisco (UCSF), the University of Southern California (USC), and the University of Michigan, has highlighted a potential role of certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the development of cancers affecting the breast, ovary, skin, and uterus. The research findings reveal that individuals who have been diagnosed with these cancers tend to exhibit significantly higher levels of these chemicals in their bodies.
Bengt Rittri, the Founder and CEO of Bluewater, a Swedish environmental entrepreneur, expressed concern about the presence of potentially harmful chemicals in many drinking water sources worldwide. He emphasised that consumers are rightfully anxious about the long-term health implications of exposure to these chemicals, which can range from endocrine disruption to an increased risk of chronic diseases.
Rittri described PFAS chemicals as a global environmental risk factor and highlighted Bluewater’s unwavering commitment to pioneering the world’s most advanced water purification solutions, surpassing conventional technologies.
PFAS chemicals, often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their resistance to breaking down, have been found to contaminate water, food, and human bodies through various products, including cookware, waterproof clothing, stain-resistant textiles, and food packaging. These chemicals can persist in the environment for decades, and it is estimated that nearly every person on the planet has some level of PFAS in their bloodstream.
Bluewater is at the forefront of providing revolutionary water purifiers designed for residential, commercial, and recreational use. These purifiers effectively remove toxic chemicals and other health-threatening substances, safeguarding communities and granting individuals access to clean and healthy tap water. Independent research has verified that Bluewater water purifiers can eliminate up to 99.99% of health-threatening PFAS chemicals, including PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and PFBS.
Bluewater is also dedicated to combating the proliferation of single-use plastic bottles, which pose threats to oceans, rivers, and human health.
Dr. Ahmed Fawzy, Bluewater’s Chief Scientist, emphasised the significance of Bluewater’s proprietary SuperiorOsmosis™ technology in addressing the challenge of chemicals in drinking water. He explained that through processes such as reverse osmosis filtration, Bluewater effectively removes virtually all known contaminants, including chemical pollutants like PFAS. This empowers consumers with greater confidence in the safety and quality of the water they consume.
Bluewater’s commitment extends to empowering women in their pursuit of safe drinking water. Women and children are often the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of water contaminants. By offering accessible and reliable purification solutions, Bluewater aims to alleviate the burden of accessing safe water and create opportunities for women to thrive in their communities.
In addition to its cutting-edge technology, Bluewater distinguishes itself through its commitment to sustainability. The company’s water purifiers are engineered to be eco-friendly, with minimal waste and energy consumption, reflecting Bluewater’s dedication to improving water quality while reducing its environmental footprint.
As part of its mission to raise awareness about the importance of clean drinking water, Bluewater is actively participating in trade conferences and expert panels in the coming months.
