PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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 Audrieu, on the same distribution network as Creully sur Seulles (SECQUEVILLE). 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.

In Creully sur Seulles, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 6 May 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Audrieu, on the same network. 7 checks since 27 March 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 19.4 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Creully sur Seulles

7 PFAS checks since 27 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 4 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Creully sur Seulles. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “CREULLY”.

“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 Creully sur Seulles safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 6 July 2026, the tap water in Creully sur Seulles was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”

How high are PFAS levels in Creully sur Seulles's drinking water?

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

Does the water in Creully sur Seulles 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.

Are PFAS levels rising in Creully sur Seulles'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 Creully sur Seulles?
