Amount found in the water 1 ng/L 0.001 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.

Sample taken in Creuzier-le-Vieux, on the same distribution network as Creuzier-le-Neuf (R. LES MOUILLERES-MONTAGNE VERTE). 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 Creuzier-le-Neuf, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 10 June 2026. That's 2 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Creuzier-le-Vieux, on the same network. 4 checks since 17 October 2025: PFAS-4 up to 2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

PFAS over time in Creuzier-le-Neuf

15 PFAS checks since 22 February 2024, from the published measurements. Samples from 4 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Creuzier-le-Neuf. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “R. LES MOUILLERES-MONTAGNE VERTE”.

“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 Creuzier-le-Neuf safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 31 July 2026, the tap water in Creuzier-le-Neuf was within every limit tested. “Eau conforme aux limites et aux références de qualité pour ce qui concerne les paramètres mesurés.”

How high are PFAS levels in Creuzier-le-Neuf's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Creuzier-le-Neuf also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 1 ng/L stays below.

Are PFAS levels rising in Creuzier-le-Neuf's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 22 February 2024). 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 Creuzier-le-Neuf?

The water hardness in Creuzier-le-Neuf is 26.4 °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.
