TFA, a harmful "forever chemical," exceeds safety limits in Paris and other French cities' tap water.

A study found that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a "forever chemical" linked to health issues, is present in the tap water of many French cities, including Paris, with levels exceeding European safety limits. TFA, a type of PFAS, was detected in 24 out of 30 samples. The French standard is less strict than those in the US and Denmark, and critics say it lacks solid toxicological backing. A bill to restrict PFAS manufacture and sale is upcoming.
