Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
938× 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.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Malandry, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 469 ng/L (0.469 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 14 January 2026. That's 938 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 706 ng/L (0.706 µg/L), above the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 5 checks since 19 May 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 357 ng/L to 706 ng/L.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Malandry safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Les résultats sont conformes sur le plan bactériologique. Néanmoins les références de qualité relatives à la présence de germes aérobies revivifiables à 22 et 36°C ne sont pas satisfaites. Depuis le 10/07/2025, la consommation de l'eau est interdite par arrêt é préfectoral à des fins de boisson. Les autres usages restent autoris és”
How high are PFAS levels in Malandry's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 706 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 706 % of the limit. (above the EU limit)
Does the water in Malandry also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 469 ng/L. That is 117.2 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The sum of 20 PFAS is 706 ng/L, above the EU legal limit of 100 ng/L.
Are PFAS levels rising in Malandry'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 Malandry?
The water hardness in Malandry is 25.6 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
