PFAS in Grainville-Langannerie's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
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.
Sample taken in Bretteville-sur-Laize, on the same distribution network as Grainville-Langannerie (SAINT GERMAIN LE VASSON). 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 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Grainville-Langannerie, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 2 July 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: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Bretteville-sur-Laize, on the same network. 3 checks since 25 March 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 1.1 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Grainville-Langannerie
3 PFAS checks since 25 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Grainville-Langannerie.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Bretteville-sur-Laize | |
| 1.1 ng/L – < 4.1 ng/L · calculated | 1.1 ng/L | Saint-Germain-le-Vasson | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Saint-Germain-le-Vasson |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Grainville-Langannerie safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 2 July 2026, the tap water in Grainville-Langannerie was within every limit tested. “A noter, un dépassement de la référence de qualité maximale de la temp érature de l'eau fixée à 25°C.”
How high are PFAS levels in Grainville-Langannerie's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Grainville-Langannerie 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 Grainville-Langannerie'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 Grainville-Langannerie?
The water hardness in Grainville-Langannerie is 32.2 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
