• Cook with stainless steel, cast-iron, glass, or ceramics. Try not to use nonstick cookware.
• Look for coats, hats, and boots labeled “water-resistant.” They are less likely to have PFAS than waterproof products.
• Avoid ordering food in grease-resistant wrappers or containers.
• Avoid carpets and upholstery treated to be stain or water-resistant; decline stain treatment.
• Ask manufacturers if their products have PFAS. These chemicals are often not listed. However, given that many PFAS cannot be measured yet, products cannot be confirmed “PFAS-free.”
• Filters that are currently available and can be effective at reducing PFAS are Charcoal (Granular Activated Carbon or GAC), Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems, and Ion Exchange Resins. 

If you are concerned about potential health effects from exposure to these PFAS above the health advisory level, EPA encourages you to contact your doctor or health care professional.
