PFAS in Neuf-Église's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
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 Saint-Éloy-les-Mines, on the same distribution network as Neuf-Église (SIAEP SIOULE ET MORGE). 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.

In Neuf-Église, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 8 June 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: 2 ng/L (0.002 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Saint-Éloy-les-Mines, on the same network. 5 checks since 25 June 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

“<” means not detected, the figure being the detection limit. “–” means not published. Labs have only reported the PFAS-4 sum (SANDRE code 9268) since autumn 2025. How to read a PFAS result
What the latest check found
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit.
Values to watch
These results are close to their legal limit, or over it.
Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 2 n/(100mL) on 27 August 2025 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits.
| What was tested | Value | Limit | Status |

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Neuf-Église safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité et conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Neuf-Église's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2 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 Neuf-Église 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 Neuf-Église's tap water?
No. Since 25 June 2025, 5 checks have been published and the PFAS-4 sum stayed below the laboratory's detection limit (4 ng/L) every time.
How hard is the water in Neuf-Église?
No hardness value is available for Neuf-Église in this source.
