PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
0.0068 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0068 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 7 % of the limit. (27 May 2026)

Health limit (used in Sweden)
0.0029 µg/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · Limit: 0.004 µg/L below health limit

The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0029 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.

One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Water report for Brazey-en-Plaine

Official assessment

The latest official test failed at least one quality requirement.

„L’eau distribuée est non-conforme, suite à des dépassements de la limite de qualité pour le métabolite de pesticide Chloridazone méthyl desphényl . Ces dépassements n’engend rent pas de restriction des usages de l’eau. Un suivi renforcé est mis en place. Un plan d'actions pour rétablir la qualité de l'eau doit être mis en oeuvre par le responsable de la distribution d'eau. 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. Un recontrôle est programmé.“
