PFAS in drinking water

None of the 4 most harmful 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, 2 ng/L found in total
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.

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 Fleury-la-Rivière, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 23 June 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: 2 ng/L (0.002 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 4 checks since 20 June 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Fleury-la-Rivière

4 PFAS checks since 20 June 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Fleury-la-Rivière. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “FLEURY LA RIVIERE HT VILLAGE”.

“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 Fleury-la-Rivière safe to drink?

At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau NON CONFORME sur le plan physico-chimique pour les paramètres testés. La teneur en FLUORURES dépasse la limite de qualité fixée à 1500 µg/l. Une consommation régulière de l'eau peut provoquer l'apparition de FLUOROSE DENTAIRE. Une restriction de l'usage de l'eau pour les nourrissons et les enfants de moins de 12 ans est nécessaire. Les apports complémentaires de fluor sont à proscrire lorsque l'eau du réseau public est utilisée pour des usages alimentaires. Des travaux visant à réduire les concentrations sont nécessaires.”

How high are PFAS levels in Fleury-la-Rivière's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 2 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Fleury-la-Rivière 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 Fleury-la-Rivière'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 Fleury-la-Rivière?

The water hardness in Fleury-la-Rivière is 41.4 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
