The water in Villers, Belgium, for example, has a record level of 3.4 µg/Lor 34 times the standard. Yet these waters come from sources that are supposedly protected against contaminants. This paradox highlights the inability of groundwater to escape diffuse pollution, in particular from PFASThese "eternal pollutants" persist in the environment for decades.
Contrary to some preconceived ideas, tap water is still one of the best sources of drinking water in the world. the best monitored in France. Current treatment systems are capable of eliminating many contaminants such as bacteria, pesticides and heavy metals. However, the PFAS and, in particular, the TFAoften escape conventional treatment.
According to Julie Mendret, a researcher specialising in water treatment at the University of Montpellier, tap water contains less microplastics than bottled water. What's more, a large proportion of the pesticides present in our environment come from other sources, such as food.
Despite increased monitoring, the complete elimination of PFAS, including TFA, requires advanced technologies. It is in this context that innovative solutions such as the Opropre Turquoise filter stand out.
This system, developed by LAVIEassociates a high quality activated carbon and a specific resin targeting PFAS. It effectively eliminates eternal pollutantsand the heavy metals and microplastics present in tap water.
For pure water at every level, the Opropre Turquoise can be combined with water purifiers LAVIE. While LAVIE purifiers focus on the elimination of chlorineand bacteria and organic compoundsthe Opropre filter acts upstream to block the PFAS and other resistant contaminants.
This dual approach guarantees exceptionally pure water, free from pollutants. chemicals, organics and plasticswhile preserving essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

While bottled water is far from pure, tap water remains a healthier, more economical and environmentally friendly alternative. However, to meet the challenges posed by PFAS and other persistent contaminants, household solutions such as Opropre Turquoise filter coupled with UV-A purification technology from LAVIE offer a complete solution for water pure and healthy at home.
These results illustrate the presence of worrying TFA, even in waters that are supposed to be protected and "pure".
These results demonstrate the widespread presence of TFA in the water consumed in Europe, and underline the urgent need to establish specific quality standards to protect public health and prevent further contamination.
