Title: Buried French Toxic-Waste 'Time-Bomb' Could Poison Drinking-Water For
Millions in Europe

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/06/23/0954...

Bruce66423 writes (slightly edited to add more context): A former potash mine
at Wittelsheim in Alsace now entombs about 42,000 tonnes of toxic industrial
waste, and scientists warn that, over time, contaminants could seep upward
into the Alsace aquifer, which in turn feeds the transboundary Upper Rhine
groundwater system supplying drinking water to millions in France, Germany
and Switzerland. Campaigners argue that leaving the waste underground instead
of removing it creates a long-term 'time-bomb' for people and wildlife.
