Clean water isn’t something most of us want to think about, until it tastes weird, smells off, or starts damaging equipment. That’s where carbon vessels quietly step in and do the work behind the scenes.

Historically, the U.S. lacked reliable nationwide data on PFAS in drinking water. That changed with the EPA’s latest monitoring efforts under the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR-5), which expands testing for dozens of PFAS across thousands of public water systems.

New Hampshire’s lakes are more than sparkling scenery. They’re where you swim on hot July weekends, paddle at sunrise, fish with your kids, host cookouts, snap photos, and reset your brains. They’re also ecosystems, and their health is starting to wobble.
