Isn't everyone in South Holland drinking from Maas sources? That is well within 15km of Dordrecht.

- WouterSpaak 3y agoWhipped up a quick little map: https://imgur.com/iMvuYz3 https://imgur.com/iMvuYz3 The purple/blue areas are drinking water (ground water) protection areas, the grey areas are protected wetlands. One of those drinking water areas is less than 1,500 meters away from the plant.
- Aeolun 3y agoI have to assume drinking water isn’t pumped into the system without monitoring safe levels of all detectable substances.

- jb1991 3y agoI don’t know the answer to that, but even if it was true, wouldnt the water be significantly filtered and cleaned as part of the normal process before delivering it to household?

- curtis3389 3y agoI think you're right based on this article: https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/health/pfas-water-filters-wellness/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/health/pfas-water-filters-wel... PFAS looks to be removable with activated carbon or reverse osmosis filters. EDIT: I think you're right that it's possible. idk if municipalities usually use these filters
- jb1991 3y agoSurely the municipalities actually test the water though, especially since these chemicals are a decades-old issue across the world, I can't imagine it wouldn't be a standard thing to look for before determining the safety of water.
