“On the front” investigates the water scandals this evening on France 5

Tap water is poorly protected in France, once again warning the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas), in a recently published report, pointing out a risk around 2,000 drinking water catchments.

In this new opus of On the frontthe green blockbuster from France Télévisions broadcast this Monday, November 25 on France 5 star host Hugo Clément addresses these questions.

Where does the water that comes into our homes come from? What path did she take to get there? What treatment did she undergo? Is bottled spring water as pure as its reputation? What pollutants expose consumers to, are they well informed and protected?

Drinking water: an alarming dark side

After the scandals of contaminated or illegally treated bottled spring water and the legal proceedings initiated against factories releasing eternal pollutants (PFAS), we are rediscovering an alarming dark side. And how French regulations notably raised the thresholds for substances deemed carcinogenic because a third of the sources of supply tested exceeded them. Uplifting!
