PFAS in Blignicourt'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 Rosnay-l'Hôpital, on the same distribution network as Blignicourt (ROSNAY L'HOPITAL RESEAU). 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 Blignicourt, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 26 March 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: 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Rosnay-l'Hôpital, on the same network. 2 checks since 20 May 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 3 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Blignicourt

2 PFAS checks since 20 May 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Blignicourt.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Blignicourt safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 26 March 2026, the tap water in Blignicourt was within every limit tested. “Compte tenu des paramètres contrôlés, cette eau est conforme aux limites et références de qualité des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine, définies par l'arrêté du 11 janvier 2007, pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. Il est à noter une teneur en chlore libre trop élevée. La teneur en chlore libre sur le réseau de distribution doit être de l'ordre de 0,1 mg/l.”

How high are PFAS levels in Blignicourt's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 3 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Blignicourt 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 Blignicourt'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 Blignicourt?

No hardness value is available for Blignicourt in this source.

Where does this data come from?
