PFAS in drinking water

None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, 6 ng/L found in total
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.

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 Auvilliers-en-Gâtinais, on the same distribution network as Beauchamps-sur-Huillard (SYNDICAT DES EAUX D'AUVILLIERS). 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.

The lab detects each of the four substances from 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.
