PFAS in Juzennecourt's tap water: under 8 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected

PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 8 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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 Colombey les Deux Églises, on the same distribution network as Juzennecourt (SYNDICAT SOURCE DES DHUITS). 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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 8 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Juzennecourt, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 12 May 2026. The total is below 8 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 16 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,005 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Juzennecourt safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in Juzennecourt 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 Juzennecourt'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 Juzennecourt 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 Juzennecourt?

No hardness value is available for Juzennecourt 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.
