PFAS in drinking water

None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, 6 ng/L found in total
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 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 Meaux, on the same distribution network as Nanteuil-lès-Meaux (MEAUX - CDA PM). 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 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Nanteuil-lès-Meaux, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 13 July 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6 ng/L (0.006 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Meaux, on the same network. 6 checks since 19 January 2026: PFAS-4 up to 3 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0). No clear trend. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 13 July 2026, the tap water in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux 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 Nanteuil-lès-Meaux's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux 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 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 Nanteuil-lès-Meaux's tap water?

No clear trend. Since 13 May 2025, 6 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 1 ng/L and 3 ng/L (3 quantified values), at times below the detection limit. pfasnearme only reports a trend from a change of at least 25 % and 1 ng/L. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux?

The water hardness in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux is 28.1 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
