PFAS in Fieffes-Montrelet's tap water: 1 ng/L, 2x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
2× 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.
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 Fieffes-Montrelet safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour le paramètre pesticide Atrazine déséthyl. Toutefois, cette eau est propre à la consommation humaine car la concentration du pesticide reste inférieure aux valeurs sanitaires. Un contrôle renforcé est mis en place.”
How high are PFAS levels in Fieffes-Montrelet'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 Fieffes-Montrelet 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.
How hard is the water in Fieffes-Montrelet?
The water hardness in Fieffes-Montrelet is 34 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
