The Berkey manufacturer has filed a lawsuit against the EPA seeking to stop it's unjustified persecution of Berkey Water Filters based on the EPA’s decision this year to treat Berkey Water Filters as though they are pesticides, rather than water filters. The EPA has already ordered the closure of Berkey's largest warehouse. Please see our blog post for the details.

Beta Radiological Removal Tests

The Berkey manufacturer, NMCL, has recently released the second round of independent lab testing for the removal of radioactive isotopes. This round for the testing of beta radiological contaminants was done for the following radioactive isotopes:

Actinium-227
Californium-251 and -252
Cesium-137
Cobalt-60
Iodine-129 and -131
Lead-210
Nickel-63
Promethium-145
Strontium-90
Technetium-99

The Black Berkey filters were found to remove the radioactive contaminants listed above to a level of 95.3%.
