Why PFAS Are a Problem PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are used for their non-stick, water-repellent, and heat-resistant properties. Highly persistent, they accumulate in the environment (water, soil, biota), and some are known to have harmful effects on human health. In France, ANSES recently published two reports (“National PFAS Monitoring in Water: Overview, Issues, and Prioritization Proposal” and “Proposed National PFAS Monitoring Strategy: Permanent, Explorat

Wastewater treatment is essential for protecting aquatic environments. But it produces a by-product that cannot be ignored: sewage sludge. Each year in France, about one million tons (dry matter equivalent) of sludge are generated. A large share of this volume is recycled on farmland through spreading. This practice is useful, regulated… and under scrutiny. This article looks at three simple questions: Why do we still spread sludge? Where are the real risk zones? What role do

A New Step in the Evolution of Microfluidics For over a decade, Klearia has been designing high-precision microfluidic solutions for water monitoring and formulation science. Today, we are entering a new phase: the integration of embedded intelligence into our systems. This approach aims to equip our instruments with real-time analysis and adaptive capabilities, enabling them to automatically adjust their parameters according to operating conditions or process variations. Fro

A Generally Safe Water Supply, but Alarming Signals Are Multiplying Tap water in France remains one of the most tightly controlled consumer products: more than sixty regulated parameters, regular analyses, and constant oversight by regional health agencies. In 2022, over 84% of French citizens consumed compliant water throughout the year. But behind this apparent stability, another reality is emerging: the growing presence of invisible pollutants linked to pesticides, metabol

Safety and transparency are at the heart of modern cosmetic manufacturing. Modern cosmetics are at a turning point. With rapidly evolving regulations and increasing consumer expectations for safe, sustainable, and transparent products, industry players are now required to rethink their entire value chain. France has recently passed a law banning the use of PFAS in cosmetics starting in January 2026, becoming a pioneer in Europe. At the European level, a broader restriction of
