PFAS in drinking water

34× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 17 ng/L 0.017 µg/L · the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4)
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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 Flins-sur-Seine, on the same distribution network as Le Port-Marly (LE PORT MARLY HAUTE PRESSION). 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 Le Port-Marly, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 17 ng/L (0.017 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 8 June 2026. That's 34 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 47 ng/L (0.047 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Flins-sur-Seine, on the same network. 10 checks since 18 February 2026: PFAS-4 up to 24 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging 20.86 ng/L over 12 months. No clear trend.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Le Port-Marly safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 3 July 2026, the tap water in Le Port-Marly 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 Port-Marly's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 47 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 47 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Le Port-Marly also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 17 ng/L. That is 4.3 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 Le Port-Marly's tap water?

No clear trend. Since 7 April 2025, 10 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 17 ng/L and 24 ng/L (7 quantified values), at times below the detection limit. pfasnearme only reports a trend from a change of at least 25 % and 1 ng/L. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Le Port-Marly?

The water hardness in Le Port-Marly is 20.1 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
