Dan Lert

Dan Lert is the president of Eau de Paris, the public water utility company for the city of Paris. He is a prominent advocate for environmental accountability, particularly in the context of water safety and pollution. Recently, he has been in the news for his strong stance against chemical pollution, specifically regarding PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in drinking water. Lert emphasizes that it is the responsibility of polluting industries, especially multinational chemical companies, to cover the costs of environmental remediation, rather than passing these burdens onto consumers and local governments.
