PFAS in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt's tap water: under 4 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 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 Buigny-l'Abbé, on the same distribution network as Bussus-lès-Yaucourt (COULONVILLERS UDI). 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 16 January 2026, the tap water in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 14 n/(100mL) on 16 January 2026 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur mais non satisfaisante aux références de qualité pour le paramètre bactéries c oliformes. Il est demandé de remédier à la situation de non-conformité constatée. En attendant, l'eau reste consommable. Par ailleurs, l’analyse a révélé la présence de perchlorate dans une concentration comprise entre une valeur strictement supérieure à 4µg/l et une valeur inférieure ou égale à 15µg/l, l'Anses préconise de ne pas préparer de biberons avec l'eau du robinet pour les nourrissons de moins de 6 mois.”
How high are PFAS levels in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt 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 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
How hard is the water in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt?
The water hardness in Bussus-lès-Yaucourt is 31.3 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
