PFAS in Le Mesnil-Conteville's tap water: 5 ng/L, 10x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
10× 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 Le Mesnil-Conteville safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 16 July 2026, the tap water in Le Mesnil-Conteville 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 Le Mesnil-Conteville's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Le Mesnil-Conteville also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 5 ng/L. That is 1.25 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).
How hard is the water in Le Mesnil-Conteville?
