PFAS in Montceaux-lès-Provins's tap water: 15 ng/L, 30x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
30× 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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Montceaux-lès-Provins safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d’alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité pour le paramètre atrazine deséthyl sans dépassement du seuil sanitaire. Eau d’alimentation présentant un dépassement de la valeur indicative pour le paramètre chlorothalonil R471811 (métabolite non pertinent). En l’état actuel des connaissances scientifiques, aucune restriction d’usage n’est nécessaire. Un suivi renforcé est mis en place pour surveiller l’évolution de la situation. La personne responsable de la distribution de l’eau doit engager un programme d’actions visant à réduire les teneurs du paramètre concerné. Les autres paramètres recherchés dans le cadre du contrôle sanitaire sont conformes aux exigences du code de la santé publique.”
How high are PFAS levels in Montceaux-lès-Provins's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 17 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 17 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Montceaux-lès-Provins also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 15 ng/L. That is 3.8 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
How hard is the water in Montceaux-lès-Provins?
The water hardness in Montceaux-lès-Provins is 27.1 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
