Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA) in drinking water

Recently I installed an APEC reverse osmosis system to eliminate problems reported in the township I live in. During 2024, West Deptford township (New Jersey) had an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violation. The PFNA was 19 parts per million (ppm). The EPA acceptable concentration for this is 13ppm.

My question is can PFNA be removed with a reverse osmosis filter? In addition to having a family, I also have pets (8 pound domestic cat, and a 68 pound dog).

I just want to make sure that the water is safe for everyone to drink.

West Deptford NJ Water still bad

The water is still too dangerous and even with a reverse osmosis filter, I am still afraid to drink it. The township sends a 2025 water report in June and every few months. June 2026 was the last update. This water contains Turbidity, Bromate, Nitratae. It also has Perflouraoctanoic asic (PF0A and PFOS). Do not drink their tap water.
