PFAS in Fréville's tap water: 3 ng/L, 6x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
6× 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 Liffol-le-Grand, on the same distribution network as Fréville (RESEAU LIFFOL). 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).
More PFAS than in 88% of the cities we track

In Fréville, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 10 February 2026. That's 6 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Liffol-le-Grand, on the same network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Fréville safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 17 July 2026, the tap water in Fréville was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation respectant les exigences de qualité réglementaires pour les paramètres analysés. Toutefois, la teneur en désinfectant (chlore libre) est élevée (>0,3 mg/L).”
How high are PFAS levels in Fréville's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 3 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 Fréville 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 3 ng/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Fréville?
The water hardness in Fréville is 27.3 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
