PFAS in Ciry-Salsogne's tap water: 4 ng/L, 8x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark

Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau

PFAS in drinking water

8× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 4 ng/L 0.004 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.

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 Ciry-Salsogne, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 4 ng/L (0.004 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 12 March 2025. That's 8 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, exactly at Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 16 ng/L (0.016 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L).
