I've drank city water my whole adult life and mostly trusted it. Lately though I keep seeing news about PFAS in municipal supplies and I started wondering whether the filter in my fridge is doing anything meaningful or whether I've been overestimating it.

I change the filter regularly. I have a Whirlpool French door. My water tastes fine. But is it actually filtering the concerning stuff?

Do these filters actually address the forever chemical concern or are they mainly just for taste and odor? Trying to understand whether I need to think about something more serious or if I'm worrying about nothing
