Drinking water quality in Meaux
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.013 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 13 % of the limit. (5 June 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.003 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Meaux safe to drink?
The latest official test failed at least one quality requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Meaux's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.013 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 13 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Meaux also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0.003 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Meaux?
The water hardness in Meaux is 25.82 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
