title! "These French villages have no more drinking water"
"Nearly 3,500 residents across 16 rural villages have been unable to drink tap water since July 10"
and "At this stage, statistically, there are no adverse health indicators demonstrating a health consequence for the populations of these villages."
- permo-w 1y ago>French villages have no more drinking water it's not unreasonable to expect a reader to glean that it means that the villages have no more water drinkable from the ground. the alternative is deeply unlikely
- fsckboy 1y agothe alternative that all the villages in france, in the entire country, have bad drinking water is entirely believable and that's what is not true, it's just a programmer's dozen of them, and that's the clarification I was looking for, this is a tiny problem that effects few people and a small geographic area.
- permo-w 1y agothat is not the logical alternative
- necovek 1y agoI would suggest simply "French villages with no drinking water due to PFAS pollution".
- fsckboy 1y agoi would suggest 16 French villages, it's a tiny number. "French villages" is too broad a category.
