PFAS in Lironville's tap water: 6 ng/L, 12x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark

PFAS in drinking water

12× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 6 ng/L 0.006 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 Norroy-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, on the same distribution network as Lironville (RESEAU EAU SOURCE DE VILCEY). 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 Lironville, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 6 ng/L (0.006 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 7 January 2026. That's 12 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 14 ng/L (0.014 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Norroy-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, on the same network. 2 checks since 20 June 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 6 ng/L to 14 ng/L.

PFAS over time in Lironville

2 PFAS checks since 20 June 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Lironville.

“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 Lironville safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 7 January 2026, the tap water in Lironville 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 Lironville's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 14 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 14 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Lironville also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 6 ng/L. That is 1.5 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 Lironville's tap water?

Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.

How hard is the water in Lironville?

No hardness value is available for Lironville 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 12 September 2026.

Same water network
