⚠️ PFAS in Drinking Water: Record Pollution Levels in France's Grand Est Region
An unprecedented case of water pollution has been detected in 17 rural municipalities across the Ardennes and Meuse departments in northeastern France.
Global Study Uncovers Widespread PFAS Contamination in Bottled and Tap Water
A groundbreaking study published on October 17, 2024 and led by research teams from the University of Birmingham and Shenzhen University, under the direction of Stuart Harrad and Yi Zhen, has revealed alarming levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called “forever chemicals,” in bottled and tap water worldwide.
