PFAS in Asnières-sur-Seine's tap water: 3 ng/L, 6x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark

Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau

PFAS in drinking water

6× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 3 ng/L 0.003 µg/L · the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4)
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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.

Sample taken in Suresnes, on the same distribution network as Asnières-sur-Seine (SENEO NORD). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.

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 Asnières-sur-Seine, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 8 July 2026. That's 6 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 23 ng/L (0.023 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Suresnes, on the same network. 9 checks since 16 January 2026: PFAS-4 up to 24 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1.5 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0). Falling on the main network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

PFAS over time in Asnières-sur-Seine

55 PFAS checks since 17 September 2024, from the published measurements. Samples from 5 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Asnières-sur-Seine. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “SENEO NORD”.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

What the latest check found

At the latest check, the water was within every limit tested.

Values to watch

These results are close to their legal limit, or over it.

One routine sample was outside a limit: Lead 33 µg/L on 5 November 2025 (limit ≤ 10 µg/L). This is a single result, not an official verdict on the supply.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Asnières-sur-Seine safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 8 July 2026, the tap water in Asnières-sur-Seine was within every limit tested. One routine sample was outside a limit: Lead 33 µg/L on 5 November 2025 (limit ≤ 10 µg/L). This is a single result, not an official verdict on the supply. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité poour le paramètre température. Ce résultat témoigne d’un réchauffement de l’eau froide au sein du rés eau intérieur, probablement due aux fortes températures de ces dernier s jours et/ou à des canalisations d’eau potable non calorifugées). Il est recommandé de veiller à l'entretien du réseau intérieur de l'immeu ble et de procéder à une purge de votre réseau intérieur en laissant c ouler l’eau 1 à 2 minutes. Les autres paramètres mesurés ont montré des résultats conformes aux p rescriptions réglementaires en vigueur.”

How high are PFAS levels in Asnières-sur-Seine's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 23 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 23 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Asnières-sur-Seine also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 3 ng/L stays below.

Are PFAS levels rising in Asnières-sur-Seine's tap water?

No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 5 ng/L (16 January 2026) to 3 ng/L (8 July 2026) across 3 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Asnières-sur-Seine?

The water hardness in Asnières-sur-Seine is 16.9 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
