#Groundwater

Water purity in Europe is concerningly inconsistent, with Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Czech Republic facing some of the most polluted groundwater; over 20% of the EU's groundwater is in poor chemical status due to harmful substances, presenting significant social and environmental costs for treatment, despite substantial investments leading to European nations largely ranking high in sanitation and drinking water quality. #WaterQuality #Groundwater #EnvironmentalHealth #BE #DE #LU #CZ #FI #IS #NL #NO #CH #UK #MD #GE #AL #LV #LT #RO

Where in Europe is tap water the most and least safe?

Water purity in Europe is significantly compromised, particularly in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Czech Republic, with over 20% of groundwater across the EU classified as having poor chemical status due to harmful substances, which poses substantial social and environmental costs, even as European investments in sanitation result in high sanitation standards compared to the rest of the world. #WaterQuality #GroundwaterPollution #EnvironmentalImpact #BE #DE #LU #CZ #FI #IS #NL #NO #CH #UK #MD #GE #AL #LV #LT #RO

V této studii bylo optimalizováno nasazení keramických pasivních vzorkovačů (CPS) pro měření nízkých koncentrací perfluoroalkylových látek (PFAS) ve spodních a říčních vodách dolního toku řeky Besòs nedaleko Barcelony, přičemž byla provedena kalibrace vzorkovačů pro sedm běžných PFAS, jejichž výsledné hodnoty byly použity k odhadu koncentrací PFAS v odebraných vzorcích vody z 14 piezometrů a dvou lokalit v řece během 14denního monitoringu. #PFASMonitoring #GroundwaterContamination #PassiveSamplers

Eine Studie hat gezeigt, dass das Grundwasser im Einzugsgebiet des Oberrheins, das rund fünf Millionen Menschen versorgt, stark durch Pestizide, Arzneimittelrückstände und PFAS belastet ist, wobei an 59 Prozent der Messstellen Trinkwassergrenzwerte überschritten wurden, was auf die intensive Nutzung der Region durch Industrie, Landwirtschaft und Haushalte hinweist. #GroundwaterQuality #WaterPollution #EnvironmentalProtection

Arzneimittel, PFAS, Pestizide: So stark ist das Grundwasser am Oberrhein belastet

Eine Studie hat ergeben, dass das Grundwasser im Oberrheingebiet durch Pestizide, Arzneimittelrückstände und PFAS erheblich belastet ist, wobei an 59 Prozent der untersuchten Messstellen Trinkwassergrenzwerte überschritten wurden, was Maßnahmen zur Sicherung der Wasserqualität für Millionen Menschen erforderlich macht. #GroundwaterPollution #PFAS #WaterQuality
