Can PFAS be removed by consumer-grade reverse-osmosis (RO) water filters?

Addendum: It turns out that a linked article from Le Monde answers that: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/our-times/article/2025/03/09/can-t... , https://archive.is/RFNe9

"All of the under-sink reverse osmosis and two-stage filters achieved near-complete removal of the PFAS chemicals we were testing for,” Stapleton said. “In contrast, the effectiveness of activated-carbon filters used in many pitcher, countertop, refrigerator and faucet-mounted styles was inconsistent and unpredictable. The whole-house systems were also widely variable and in some cases actually increased PFAS levels in the water.” - https://nicholas.duke.edu/news/not-all-home-drinking-water-f...

This is a cool project, reminds me very much of IRC Poker from back in the early days on the internet.

We got frustrated with lack of tools available to founders to model their SAFE rounds and subsiquent dilutions, so we built an open source library and cap table worksheet.

The underlying finance library is MIT licensed and we've done our best to match it up with known sources of truth (Excel spreadsheets from lawyers), along with tests!

Feel free to give feedback to either me (mdp@1984.vc), or team@1984.vc
