PFAS-Chemie im Rhein-Trinkwasser - Niederländer fordern Filter
Aus der Deponie Bürrig in Leverkusen (NRW) gelangen Sickerwasser mit PFAS-Chemikalien ungefiltert in eine Kläranlage und von dort in den Rhein. Dies gefährdet das Trinkwasser von über einem Drittel der Bevölkerung in den Niederlanden, die ihr Wasser direkt aus dem Rhein beziehen. Niederländische Rheinwasserwerke fordern daher den Betreiber in Bürrig auf, wirksame Filter einzusetzen.
