    Pay walled, so all I could see before it closed was boil.

    Further research (read 2 min) gave an answer of boiling in hard water plus filtering after removes more than 80% (soft water it is only 20%) because boiling causes lime scale to collect on plastics making them bigger and easier to filter out

    So, if you have the hardest, hard water you can have 80% reduction with just a 1hr wait for cooling. Not quite a silver bullet. Interesting though

      Your research is more or less what they said. I do want to add that part of their stated goal was to stimulate interest and get further research done, which hopefully will work. Does sound interesting.
