On September 28, 2026, traces of a high‑risk pesticide were identified in tap water supplies across seven cities in Quebec, Canada. The concentrations measured exceed the safety limit established by the European Union.
Quebec currently does not have a legal threshold for this pesticide, so the detected levels are not regulated by provincial standards.
