So sad what humanity has done to Gods beautiful creation. Everywhere on earth from the Tibetan highlands to the Antarctic rainwater reached pollution of PFAS chemicals of 14x what the United States Environmental Protection Agency consideres drinking water

Yay for acid rain, where you have to wash your water down with bleach to balance the PH (This is an exaggeration don't actually do this)

iirc the acid rain problem has been getting better recently (asides from close to coal plants due to carbon black) ... the real final boss are the damn forever-chemicals that are not biodegradeable and especially microplastics

When it comes to drinking water the microplastics is already a solved issue, the problem is that its relatively expensive because it has to be done in each home. The solution is a carbon block filter. They go for about $50 afaik excluding the contraption it sits in, and lasts at least 6 months. You basically use them until the water flow is noticeably reduced, then you buy a new one. But some people rinse the old one somehow and give it a bit more milage.

The linked paper is about exactly that: PFAS levels in rainwater have exceeded levels deemed safe for consumption
