An NGO denounces high levels of PFAS in the water near a Solvay chemical factory in Gard. In surface waters, significant traces of TFA and triflic acid were found in rivers up to twenty kilometers downstream from the plant.
The factory's discharges remain "perfectly within the framework" of a 2017 prefectural decree concerning this factory classified as "Seveso high threshold" A complaint filed for “attack on fish” François Veillerette, director of the NGO, considered that these authorized thresholds were “very high”
