Description
Crini and co-authors published a 2026 study that measured PFAS chemicals in the tap water of Besançon, a city in France. PFAS are long-lasting industrial chemicals, and little local data existed for home tap water in France. The team collected 74 samples from 28 households and had an accredited lab test them for 65 different PFAS substances.
Twelve of the substances turned up in the water, and many samples held mixtures of two to ten. One chemical, trifluoroacetic acid, appeared in every sample and made up most of the total load. Totals ranged widely, from 440 to 3,805 nanograms per liter. Levels of the 20 regulated substances stayed under the legal limit, but the authors urge that the unlisted acid be monitored too.
