“Health survey” on France 5, trip to polluted water

The water is vital: a human does not survive more than three days without it. Similarly, That it is of quality is therefore essential. However, whether it flows from the tap or whether it is a bottled mineral, it is today more than polluted. Moreover. Furthermore, in Châtenoy (Loiret) as in other municipalities, it is no longer even possible to drink tap water, which contains manganese, neurotoxic in high doses.

Water suppliers knew it but not consumers, who therefore kicked it, in defiance of their health. Consequently, We know that contamination is partly due to the pipes. However, So. Furthermore, Michel Maufras, member of the collective “For clear and oral water”, asks the annoying question: how to protect the population, taking into account the duration of such work, if they are envisaged?

A company problem that worsens – "health survey" france 5, trip

In “health survey” france 5, trip capturing sites providing water. there is a mixture of pesticide metabolites, pharmaceutical pollutants and industrial waste. Besides. Mickaël DErangeon, Vice-President of Atlantic’eau, worries: the 20 annual tons of active coal filter most of these molecules, but what about others?

Sometimes some have even come from prohibited products for fifteen years, as the soils have been contaminated. So. we try to convince farmers to cultivate pesticide -free areas: this is the Terres de Sources label, launched by the Public Drinking Water Service of the Rennes basin.

Even more dangerous: pfas, indestructible. In Salinders (Gard), the Association Generations Futures has found TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) in rivers supplying water treatment factories. According to an official public health report France. the risks of glioblastoma (form of brain cancer) are three times higher in the municipalities of Salinders and Rousson.

The link between TFA. glioblastoma has not been formally demonstrated: the lack of time and “health survey” france 5, trip means considerably slows scientific research in the face of the thousands of existing PFAS and their potential dangers.

So. to remedy this, we can try the filtration of water at home: active charcoal, filter decanters or filters to be placed on the tap do not prove so effective on all pollutants. The best solution? No, it is not mineral water: whether in a glass or plastic bottle, water is always polluted.

The best is certainly the water osmosis, which would filter up to more than 90 % of pollutants. But it has a cost: 2,000 euros in addition to the 200 euros cleaning per year, which cannot be accessible to all. The observation is clear: you have to think about the scale of society.
