PFAS in Jaucourt's tap water: under 8 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 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Jaucourt safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 27 July 2026, the tap water in Jaucourt was within every limit tested. “Compte tenu des paramètres contrôlés, cette eau est conforme aux limites et références de qualité des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine, définies par l'arrêté du 11 janvier 2007, pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Jaucourt's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Jaucourt 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 Jaucourt?
No hardness value is available for Jaucourt in this source.
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.
