A Landmark Lawsuit: Santa Clara County Takes Action Against PFAS Water Contamination

On February 6, 2025, Santa Clara County, California, filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against major chemical giants, including 3M, DuPont, and Chemours, for contaminating its public water supply with PFAS—harmful “forever chemicals” linked to severe health risks. This lawsuit shines a harsh light on a growing crisis: millions of Americans unknowingly consume water laced with these toxic substances every single day. With mounting evidence tying PFAS exposure to cancer, immune disorders, and hormonal imbalances, the stakes have never been higher.

Understanding the Risks: A Silent and Pervasive Threat

A recent study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found that PFAS contamination in drinking water contributed to between 4,626 and 6,864 cancer cases annually in the U.S. These chemicals—used for decades in firefighting foams, nonstick cookware, waterproof fabrics, and industrial processes—do not break down naturally. Instead, they persist in the environment, infiltrate our water supply, and accumulate in our bodies, leading to long-term and potentially fatal health effects:

• Increased cancer risks (digestive, respiratory, endocrine, and oral cancers)

• Hormonal and immune system disruption

• Liver and kidney damage

The scope of the problem is staggering. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that 95 million Americans drink water with detectable levels of PFAS. Contamination hotspots include California, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and New York—regions where residents may unknowingly be consuming dangerous levels of these chemicals. With each glass of water, the invisible threat grows, raising urgent questions about how to protect yourself and your family.

Why NUBE Is Your Best Defense Against PFAS Contamination

Traditional water treatment methods, including municipal filtration systems, fail to eliminate PFAS entirely. Even bottled water is not a foolproof alternative, as many brands have been found to contain microplastics, PFAS, and other contaminants. This is where NUBE provides an innovative, sustainable, and completely independent solution:

✔ Generates Pure Water from the Air – Unlike municipal water supplies, NUBE produces water free from contaminants like PFAS, fluoride, chlorine, and heavy metals.

✔ Sustainable and Cost-Effective – Over time, investing in a NUBE system is more affordable than continuously purchasing bottled water.

✔ Reliable and Independent – No reliance on external water sources means no risk of exposure to contaminated groundwater.

✔ Superior Filtration Technology – NUBE’s advanced purification process ensures the highest quality drinking water for you and your family.

The Choice Is Clear: Protect Your Family Today

As lawsuits pile up and scientific evidence mounts, PFAS contamination is no longer a distant environmental concern—it’s a present and urgent danger. The question isn’t whether PFAS is in your water; it’s how much. And more importantly, what are you doing to stop it?

With NUBE, you take control of your water source, shielding your family from a crisis that corporations like 3M and DuPont have spent decades downplaying. Investing in NUBE means choosing health, sustainability, and peace of mind over uncertainty and risk.
