Nollet Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:17:55 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/science/?p=1734#comment-261 What is the best method to analyze PFCs in the wastewater including inffluent, effluent and sludge? Is it possible the EPA would set up a discharge limit of PFCs in the future? What is the limit of PFCs in drinking water? Thank you very much.

PFCs are perfluorinated compounds and are different from fluoride. You can learn more about PFCs here – http://www.epa.gov/oppt/pfoa/

Also, you can learn about EPA’s work regarding fluoride here – http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/basicinformation/fluoride.cfm.

Why are PFC’s bad for us yet the EPA advocates fluoride in our water? Doesn’t the free fluoride that we drink have the ability to create bonds in our body… and stay there since fluoride doesn’t degrade in our bodies either?
Thanks
