PFAS in drinking water

None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 3.4 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, 1.61 ng/L found in total
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 3.4 ng/L, 6.8 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.

Sample taken in Taillis, on the same distribution network as Montreuil-des-Landes (EAU PORTES BRETAGNE_BILLERIE/GRANGE_TAILLIS). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.

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 0.4 to 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 3.4 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 3.4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Montreuil-des-Landes, 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 3.4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 6.8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 1.61 ng/L (0.0016 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Taillis, on the same network. 2 checks since 8 April 2026: PFAS-4 up to 0.47 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Montreuil-des-Landes safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 29 July 2026, the tap water in Montreuil-des-Landes was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”

How high are PFAS levels in Montreuil-des-Landes's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1.61 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 2 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Montreuil-des-Landes 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 3.4 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 Montreuil-des-Landes's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 8 April 2026). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.

How hard is the water in Montreuil-des-Landes?

The water hardness in Montreuil-des-Landes is 10.7 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?
