PFAS in Grignoncourt's tap water: under 8 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 8 ng/L, 16 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 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 8 ng/L rather than zero.

In Grignoncourt, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 28 July 2026. The total is below 8 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 16 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,005 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 5 September 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (5 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Grignoncourt
3 PFAS checks since 5 September 2025, from the published measurements. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “SDE MARLINVAUX (88)”.
“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 | Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 8 ng/L · calculated | < 5 ng/L | SDE MARLINVAUX (88) | |
| < 8 ng/L · calculated | < 5 ng/L | 070000911 | |
| < 8 ng/L · calculated | < 5 ng/L | SDE MARLINVAUX (88) |
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 Grignoncourt safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non conforme à la limite de qualité réglementaire pour le paramètre nitrates. La consommation de l'eau est déconseillée aux femmes enceintes et aux nourrissons de moins de 6 mois. Eau d'alimentation non conforme à la limite de qualité réglementaire pour la somme NO2/3 + NO3/50. LA CONSOMMATION DE L'EAU EST DECONSEILLEE. Les mesures correctives nécessaires doivent être prises afin de rétablir la qualité de l'eau. Un suivi analytique renforcé est réalisé pour vérifier l'évolution de ce paramètre.”
How high are PFAS levels in Grignoncourt's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Grignoncourt also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 8 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
Are PFAS levels rising in Grignoncourt'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 Grignoncourt?
The water hardness in Grignoncourt is 39.5 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
