PFAS in Charbuy's tap water: 21 ng/L, 42x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
42× above our health benchmark
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 Monéteau, on the same distribution network as Charbuy (CHARBUY). 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 Charbuy, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 21 ng/L (0.021 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 22 May 2026. That's 42 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 48 ng/L (0.048 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Monéteau, on the same network. 2 checks since 22 September 2025: PFAS-4 from 21 ng/L to 25 ng/L. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Charbuy safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 10 July 2026, the tap water in Charbuy was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité du fait de la température élevée. Le risque de prolifération microbienne est augmenté, surveiller la chloration.”
How high are PFAS levels in Charbuy's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 48 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 48 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Charbuy also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 21 ng/L. That is 5.3 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
Are PFAS levels rising in Charbuy's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 26 May 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Charbuy?
The water hardness in Charbuy is 24.3 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.
