PFAS in Fontaine-lès-Dijon's tap water: under 2.5 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 2.5 ng/L, 5 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 Dijon, on the same distribution network as Fontaine-lès-Dijon (DIJON METROPOLE, R. FONTAINE LES DIJON). 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 0.5 to 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 2.5 ng/L rather than zero.

In Fontaine-lès-Dijon, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 7 July 2026. The total is below 2.5 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 5 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 2.7 ng/L (0.0027 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Dijon, on the same network. 6 checks since 6 January 2026: PFAS-4 up to 1.31 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 0.22 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Fontaine-lès-Dijon safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 21 July 2026, the tap water in Fontaine-lès-Dijon was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux normes en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Fontaine-lès-Dijon's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2.7 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Fontaine-lès-Dijon 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 2.5 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 Fontaine-lès-Dijon's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 6 January 2026). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Fontaine-lès-Dijon?
The water hardness in Fontaine-lès-Dijon is 29 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
