PFAS in the tap water of Noyers (Haute-Marne): 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Noyers safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 7 July 2026, the tap water in Noyers was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 13 n/(100mL) on 7 July 2026 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité sur le plan bactériologique mais non conforme aux références de qualité. Les résultats font apparaître une contamination microbiologique significative sur les paramètres indicateurs de l'efficacité du traitement ou de la propreté des installations. Les mesures correctives nécessaires doivent être prises afin de rétablir la qualité de l'eau.”
How high are PFAS levels in Noyers'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 Noyers 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.
How hard is the water in Noyers?
The water hardness in Noyers is 35.6 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
