PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.

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 Chouy, on the same distribution network as Longpont (UDI DU NADON). 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.

The lab detects each of the four substances from 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Longpont, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 5 February 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,029 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Chouy, on the same network. 2 checks since 5 February 2026, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Longpont

3 PFAS checks since 14 February 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Longpont.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Longpont safe to drink?

All the values shown here (27 April 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d’alimentation non conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour le paramètre plomb. Cette teneur en plomb n’est représentative que po ur le point d’utilisation d’eau concerné et non pour l’ensemble du rés eau de distribution. Un nouveau recontrôle sera réalisé.”

How high are PFAS levels in Longpont's drinking water?

At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

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

As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.

Are PFAS levels rising in Longpont's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 14 February 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Longpont?

No hardness value is available for Longpont in this source.

Where does this data come from?
