The pollution of the Oise river once again at the center of all concerns.
In June 2023, the NGO Générations Futures demonstrated through analyzes the “very significant presence” of 14 perfluorinated substances (PFAS) in the discharges from the Villers-Saint-Paul chemical platform, which would be due to the activity of Chemours, which manufactures PFAS used to create stain-resistant coatings (paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc.).
So-called “eternal” pollutants for their resistance to degradation in the environment but also in the body, used in many industries since the 1940s. Rebelote this Thursday, the association published new analyzes carried out in January, at the same place than the previous sampling, which demonstrate a total concentration of PFAS 3.6 times higher than in 2023.
