Description
M Dijoux and co-authors measured long-lasting industrial chemicals, known as PFAS, in drinking water around the Fos-Berre harbor area of southern France. Their study was published in 2026. These chemicals break down very slowly and have spread through water near factories and ports.
The team built a sensitive lab method covering thirty-eight such chemicals, then tested tap water and groundwater from thirty sites. Eighteen chemicals appeared in at least one sample. Short-chain types showed up most often, and one sample passed the European limit for the sum of twenty regulated kinds. Levels varied by site in ways that matched local industry and groundwater flow. The survey gives officials a first map of where this pollution sits in local drinking water.
