PFAS in Juvigny-sur-Loison's tap water: 280 ng/L, 560x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
560× above our health benchmark
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.
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).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Juvigny-sur-Loison safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “La somme des 20 PFAS est supérieure à la limite de qualité fixée à 0,1 µg/l. Un plan d'actions pour rétablir la qualité de l'eau a été demandé à la collectivité. Depuis le 05/07/2025, la consommation de l'eau est interdite par arrêté préfectoral à des fins de boisson et pour la préparation de biberons. Les autres usages restent autorisés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Juvigny-sur-Loison's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 3,700 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 3,700 % of the limit. (above the EU limit)
Does the water in Juvigny-sur-Loison also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 280 ng/L. That is 70 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The sum of 20 PFAS is 3,700 ng/L, above the EU legal limit of 100 ng/L.
Are PFAS levels rising in Juvigny-sur-Loison'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 Juvigny-sur-Loison?
The water hardness in Juvigny-sur-Loison is 24.2 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
