🏭💧Après des mois de travail, le Forever Pollution Project du @lemondefr et de ses 17 partenaires révèle l'ampleur vertigineuse de la contamination de l'Europe par les #PFAS, des polluants éternels
#ForeverPollution
lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/…
Nous révélons 17 000 sites contaminés par les PFAS à travers toute l'Europe, dont plus de 2100 hotspots (> de 100ng/L). Ces données proviennent de prélèvements effectués dans l’eau, dans les sols ou dans des organismes vivants par des scientifiques et des agences depuis 2003.
Nous révélons aussi la localisation de près de 21 500 sites présumés contaminés. Soit des sites dont l’activité industrielle est documentée comme à la fois utilisatrice et émettrice de PFAS, comme les bases militaires (mousses anti-incendie) ou les usines à papier.
Last but not least, vous trouverez aussi la localisation des 20 usines de production de PFAS en Europe.
Un travail méticuleux et un challenge journalistique d'un genre nouveau réalisé avec et grâce à mes fabuleux collègues @AubertRaphaelle @garydagorn Luc Martinon @_W___

🏭💧After months of work, the Forever Pollution Project by @lemondefr and its 17 partners reveals the staggering extent of Europe's contamination by forever chemicals #PFAS

@lemondefr We reveal the existence of 17,000 PFAS contaminated sites across Europe, including over 2,100 hotspots (over 100ng/L). These data come from samples taken in water, soil or living organisms by scientists and authorities since 2003.
We also reveal the location of nearly 21,500 presumptive contamination sites. These are sites where industrial activity is documented as both a user and emitter of PFAS, such as military bases (firefighting foams) or paper mills.
