BioLargo CEO Says What To Do As The Cleantech Industry And Governments Work Together To Remove PFAS Threat

Dennis Calvert On Six Practical Ways To Protect Your Family From ‘Forever Chemicals’ In Drinking Water Supply

WESTMINSTER, CA, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- While new alternative efforts to remove “forever chemicals” from America’s drinking water are underway, a cleantech CEO warns diligence is essential now to reduce exposure to invisible PFAS toxins that can enter a person’s body in many ways.

“With over 150 million US citizens drinking, bathing, and doing laundry with contaminated tap water, the problem has become so large that state and federal governments are funding efforts to undo the damage,” said CEO Dennis Calvert of BioLargo (OTCQX:BLGO).

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 158 million Americans are at risk of PFAS exposure through contaminated tap water.

BioLargo, an innovator in the fight against PFAS, recently installed its new patented water treatment technology that removes and destroys “forever chemical” pollutants at the municipal water facility in Lake Stockholm, New Jersey.

"The Lake Stockholm installation marks an important milestone for BioLargo as our first alternative filtration technology,” said Calvert. “PFAS contamination will one day be a relic of the past, but it will take decades for the cleantech industry and the government working together to solve the problem.”

In the meantime, the consensus opinion of environmental experts points to these six ways to protect your family:

* Replace kitchenware that uses PFAS chemicals. According to a scientific study in Environmental Science and Technological Letters, many plastic containers and utensils contain forever chemicals, which can seep into food, especially if the container gets heated.

* Avoid purchasing clothing or textiles marketed as “stain resistant” or “wrinkle resistant.” A study in the Journal of Hazardous Materials found that the chemicals used to make stain and water-resistant jackets started to break down with repeated wear. Every time these chemical-laced clothes go through the wash, they seep PFAS chemicals into the water supply.

* Reduce household dust with frequent microfiber cloth dusting. One of the less obvious ways PFAS chemicals enter the body is through household dust, and according to the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, households in areas affected by PFAS contamination likely have dust and soil contamination too.

* Follow fish consumption guidelines for locally caught fish in your area to help choose meat low in PFAS. According to the Environmental Working Group, eating just one serving of freshwater fish from a PFAS-contaminated source is akin to drinking a month’s worth of PFAS-contaminated water.

* Avoid contact with foam on surface water. The Journal of Hazardous Materials found that naturally occurring surface water foam contains even higher concentrations of PFAS molecules than the water itself.

* Home filtration systems can be highly effective at protecting you from PFAS. But not all filters are created equal. Do your homework.

“All of these are moves in the right direction,” said Calvert.
