PFAS in drinking water

25.6× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 12.8 ng/L 0.0128 µg/L · the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4)
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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 Garennes-sur-Eure, on the same distribution network as Ivry-la-Bataille (COUTURE BOUSSEY). 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).

PFAS over time in Ivry-la-Bataille

3 PFAS checks since 19 May 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Ivry-la-Bataille. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “COUTURE BOUSSEY”.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Ivry-la-Bataille safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 1 July 2026, the tap water in Ivry-la-Bataille was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour les paramètres mesurés. Toutefois, la référence de qualité fixée pour la température n'est pas satisfaite, sans empêcher la consommation de l'eau. Enfin, la présence de bactéries aérobies revivifiables en quantité importante est observée.”

How high are PFAS levels in Ivry-la-Bataille's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 23.7 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 24 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Ivry-la-Bataille also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 12.8 ng/L. That is 3.2 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).

Are PFAS levels rising in Ivry-la-Bataille'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 Ivry-la-Bataille?

The water hardness in Ivry-la-Bataille is 33 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?

All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.
