PFAS dans l’eau potable : un tiers de la métropole lilloise est menacée

Fin décembre 2024, un dépassement de la limite de qualité pour le flufénacet (un herbicide de la famille des PFAS) a été constaté dans l'eau potable à Prémesques, desservie par l'usine d'Aire-sur-la-Lys. La concentration atteignait 0,15 µg/l au lieu de 0,1 µg/l, affectant potentiellement un tiers de la métropole lilloise. Bien que le traitement au charbon actif ait été intensifié, la menace des PFAS et de leurs métabolites demeure, avec de nouvelles non-conformités signalées.
