A type of"forever chemical" linked to health problems and birth defects has been found in the tap water of many French cities and towns including Paris, according to a study released on Thursday.
TFA is a type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance , often called forever chemicals because they do not degrade easily. Under European Union rules, from 2026 all drinking water must not exceed 500 nanograms per litre for all PFAS.Of the 30 cities and towns where water has been analysed, the French capital's 10th district has the second highest concentration, at 6,200 nanograms per litre, behind Moussac in the south of France.The groups lamented that in France, TFA is"rarely -- if ever -- sought by regional health agencies during drinking water controls".
PFAS concentrations"remain in line with the standard chosen by France" where the limit is set at 100 nanograms/litre.
