Müller said both public water providers and the National Center for Public Health (NNK) regularly test drinking water and perform roughly 900,000 tests on tens of thousands of samples a year.

She indicated that Hungary is in a fortunate position, as healthy, high-quality water flows from the tap.

She pointed out that drinking water is also being tested for microplastics and hormones; the results show that these substances can only be "traced" in surface waters, but not yet in the drinking water, as shore-filtered wells filter out these contaminants.
