PFAS in Andrésy's tap water: 8 ng/L, 16x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
16× above our health benchmark
0.5 ng/L is our benchmark, not an official limit. Same EFSA method as Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, but stricter. It's a yearly average, compared here with the latest check.
More about this result
The US also limits PFOA and PFOS to 4 ng/L each, per substance.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Andrésy, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 8 ng/L (0.008 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 9 June 2026. That's 16 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 25 ng/L (0.025 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 6 May 2026: PFAS-4 from 7 ng/L to 8 ng/L.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Andrésy safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 9 June 2026, the tap water in Andrésy was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Andrésy's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 25 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 25 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Andrésy also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 8 ng/L. That is 2 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
Are PFAS levels rising in Andrésy's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 14 February 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Andrésy?
The water hardness in Andrésy is 31.5 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 28 September 2026.
