PFAS in Haraucourt-sur-Seille'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.
Sample taken in Marsal, on the same distribution network as Haraucourt-sur-Seille (MARSAL). 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 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 8 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Haraucourt-sur-Seille 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. 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 Haraucourt-sur-Seille'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 Haraucourt-sur-Seille 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.
How hard is the water in Haraucourt-sur-Seille?
The water hardness in Haraucourt-sur-Seille is 50 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
