PFAS in Montblainville's tap water: under 8 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 8 ng/L, 16 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 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 8 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 8 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Montblainville, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 5 May 2026. The total is below 8 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 16 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,005 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 16 June 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (5 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Montblainville
2 PFAS checks since 16 June 2025, from the published measurements.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS |
|---|---|---|
| < 8 ng/L · calculated | < 5 ng/L | |
| < 8 ng/L · calculated | < 5 ng/L |
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 Montblainville safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 9 June 2026, the tap water in Montblainville was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 150 µS/cm on 9 June 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation respectant les limites de qualité réglementaires en vigueur pour les paramètres analysés. Eau d'alimentation ne satisfaisant pas aux références de qualité réglementaires pour les paramètres équilibre calcocarbonique et conductivité. Eau d'alimentation présentant un caractère agressif, susceptible de provoquer une corrosion des conduites ce qui peut entrainer une augmentation de certaines substances (plomb, cuivre…) et présenter alors un risque pour la santé des consommateurs. Il est recommandé de consommer cette eau après écoulement de quelques minutes. Les mesures correctives doivent être prises afin de rétablir la qualité de l'eau : installation d'un traitement adapté.”
How high are PFAS levels in Montblainville's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Montblainville also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 8 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
Are PFAS levels rising in Montblainville'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 Montblainville?
The water hardness in Montblainville is 7.1 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
