PFAS in Duppigheim's tap water: 11 ng/L, 22x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
22× 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 Geispolsheim, on the same distribution network as Duppigheim (SECTEUR STRASBOURG-SUD - COM COM MOLSHEIM MUTZIG). 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).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Duppigheim safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 22 July 2026, the tap water in Duppigheim was within every limit tested. “Eau destinée à la consommation humaine conforme aux limites et aux références de qualité réglementaires pour les paramètres analysés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Duppigheim's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 11 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 11 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Duppigheim also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 11 ng/L. That is 2.8 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).
How hard is the water in Duppigheim?
The water hardness in Duppigheim is 28.5 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
