PFAS in Belleneuve's tap water: under 2.5 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 2.5 ng/L, 5 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.
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 0.5 to 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 2.5 ng/L rather than zero.

In Belleneuve, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 27 May 2026. The total is below 2.5 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 5 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 29 October 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Belleneuve
4 PFAS checks since 7 April 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Belleneuve.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Belleneuve | |
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Cheuge | |
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Magny-Saint-Médard | |
| < 2.5 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Belleneuve |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Belleneuve safe to drink?
All the values shown here (27 May 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux valeurs dérogatoires 0,6µg/L pour le p aramètre Chloridazone-desphenyl; 0,3µg/L pour le paramètre Chloridazon e-methyl-desphenyl et 0,9µg/L pour le paramètre total des pesticides a nalysés fixée par arrêté préfectoral n°2026-19 du 30/04/2026. La présence de ces molécules dans l'eau à une concentration inférieur e à la valeur sanitaire propre à chaque molécule ne présente pas de ri sque pour la santé du consommateur. L'eau peut donc être consommée san s restriction d'usage sur la période dérogatoire. Le plan d'actions prévu dans le cadre de la dérogation doit être mis en œuvre par le responsable de la distribution d'eau afin de remédier à cette situation. L’eau distribuée ne respecte pas la valeur indicative de 0.9 μg/L pour le métabolite de pesticide non pertinent Chlorothalonil R471811. Cette valeur indicative doit servir de cible à atteindre à travers un plan d’actions à définir par la collectivité. Ce dépassement n’engendre pas de restriction des usages de l’eau.”
How high are PFAS levels in Belleneuve's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Belleneuve also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 2.5 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Belleneuve's tap water?
No. Since 7 April 2025, 3 checks have been published and the PFAS-4 sum stayed below the laboratory's detection limit every time. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Belleneuve?
The water hardness in Belleneuve is 28.5 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
