BEHIND THE BRAND

Water's Most Unwanted is a STEAM-powered initiative by the team at Risk Edge, where we blend science, technology, engineering, art and maths to make water quality knowledge more accessible, creative, and fun!

We're not here to lecture. We're here to make learning sticky.

Join the curious crowd navigating our not-so-clear waters.

Use it. Share it. Start something.

Contaminant

PFAS

AKA: PFCs (perfluorinated compounds), Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances, “Forever Chemicals”

Crimes: Sneaky entry to the body, mainly through the mouth or nose, squats in the liver, kidneys, blood and fat.

Hang-outs: Fire-fighting foams, personal care products (such as shampoos, make-up and dental floss), some packaging, and can turn up in dust, water sources, soils and foods.

Danger: Implicated in some cancers, reduced fertility, developmental delays in kids, reduced immune status, cholesterol and obesity problems (depends on amount consumed).

Protection: Drinking water is generally safe (but check with your supplier), avoid stain-resistant coatings, check your personal care products, avoid non-stick pans, avoid eating seafood from impacted water.

Look out for our ever-expanding Rogues' Gallery and case files, because you never know what might be lurking in your water.
