Pollutants
State of drinking water
Is tap water really good for health?
Even if it meets standards, tap water may contain viruses, bacteria, pesticides, PFAS, heavy metals, and chlorine. These pollutants can impact the taste and odor of the water, as well as the health of those who drink it.
Does all of France really need to ensure it is truly safe for health?
Almost everywhere in France, analyses confirm it: the water contains traces of pollutants, often deemed “acceptable” by law… but still present.
