PFAS in La Neuville's tap water: 1 ng/L, 2x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
2× 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).

In La Neuville, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 24 June 2026. That's 2 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 3 ng/L (0.003 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 5 checks since 10 February 2026: PFAS-4 up to 4 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1.8 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0). Falling on the main network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

PFAS over time in La Neuville
7 PFAS checks since 22 July 2024, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to La Neuville.
“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 La Neuville safe to drink?
All the values shown here (24 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité pour le paramètre équilibre calco-carbonique. Cette eau présente un caractère incrustant, ce qui n'empêche pas sa consommation.”
How high are PFAS levels in La Neuville's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 3 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in La Neuville also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 1 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in La Neuville's tap water?
No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 4 ng/L (26 March 2026) to 1 ng/L (24 June 2026) across 3 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in La Neuville?
The water hardness in La Neuville is 23.7 °f (medium). 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.
