PFAS in Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin's tap water: under 4 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 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 Prémesques, on the same distribution network as Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin (LOOS). 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 Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 15 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: 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Prémesques, on the same network. 8 checks since 10 January 2024: PFAS-4 up to 12 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 8.5 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0). No clear trend. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Is tap water in Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 20 July 2026, the tap water in Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin 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 Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin's tap water?
No clear trend. Since 10 January 2024, 8 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 8 ng/L and 12 ng/L (5 quantified values), at times below the detection limit. pfasnearme only reports a trend from a change of at least 25 % and 1 ng/L.
