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.

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 Longueil, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 8 July 2025. 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: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 27 May 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Longueil

2 PFAS checks since 27 May 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Longueil. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “OUVILLE LA RIVIERE”.

“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 Longueil safe to drink?

All the values shown here (20 April 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme, le jour du prélèvement, aux exigences de qualité pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. Nota Bene : Les teneurs ne valent que pour le point d'utilisation où elles ont été mesurées. Compte tenu de l'influence du réseau de distribution d'eau (réseau intérieur et éventuellement branchement public) sur la dissolution des métaux, ces valeurs ne sont pas représentatives de la qualité de l'eau pour l'ensemble des consommateurs du réseau de distribution.”

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

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

Does the water in Longueil 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 Longueil'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 Longueil?

The water hardness in Longueil is 33.1 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?
