PFAS in Auffreville-Brasseuil's tap water: 24 ng/L, 48x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
48× 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.
Sample taken in Mantes-la-Ville, on the same distribution network as Auffreville-Brasseuil (AUFFREVILLE VERT). 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 Auffreville-Brasseuil, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 24 ng/L (0.024 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 27 February 2026. That's 48 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 63 ng/L (0.063 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Mantes-la-Ville, on the same network. 3 checks since 30 April 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 24 ng/L to 63 ng/L. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Auffreville-Brasseuil safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 21 May 2026, the tap water in Auffreville-Brasseuil 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 Auffreville-Brasseuil's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 63 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 63 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Auffreville-Brasseuil also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 24 ng/L. That is 6 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 Auffreville-Brasseuil's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in Auffreville-Brasseuil?
The water hardness in Auffreville-Brasseuil is 0.1 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
