PFAS in Lamotte-Brebière's tap water: 13 ng/L, 26x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
26× 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.
Sample taken in Amiens, on the same distribution network as Lamotte-Brebière (LAMOTTE BREBIERE UDI). 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).

In Lamotte-Brebière, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 13 ng/L (0.013 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 2 June 2026. That's 26 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 13 ng/L (0.013 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Amiens, on the same network. 2 checks since 28 May 2026: PFAS-4 up to 13 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Lamotte-Brebière safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d’alimentation non conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour les paramètres pesticides Desphényl-Chloridazone, Méthyl-Desphényl-Chloridazone et le total des pesticides analysés. Toutefois, cette eau est propre à la consommation humaine car la concentration des pesticides concernés reste inférieure aux valeurs sanitaires. Un contrôle renforcé est mis en place.”
How high are PFAS levels in Lamotte-Brebière's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 13 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 13 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Lamotte-Brebière also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 13 ng/L. That is 3.3 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 Lamotte-Brebière's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 28 May 2026). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Lamotte-Brebière?
The water hardness in Lamotte-Brebière is 30.2 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
