PFAS in Nuits-Saint-Georges's tap water: 3.24 ng/L, 6.5x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
6.5× 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).

In Nuits-Saint-Georges, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 3.24 ng/L (0.0032 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 15 April 2026. That's 6.5 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 4.64 ng/L (0.0046 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 5 November 2025: PFAS-4 from 2.5 ng/L to 3.24 ng/L, averaging 2.88 ng/L over 12 months. No clear trend.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Nuits-Saint-Georges safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 7 July 2026, the tap water in Nuits-Saint-Georges 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 Nuits-Saint-Georges's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 4.64 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Nuits-Saint-Georges also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 3.24 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Nuits-Saint-Georges's tap water?
No clear trend. Since 23 April 2025, 3 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 2.5 ng/L and 3.24 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 Nuits-Saint-Georges?
The water hardness in Nuits-Saint-Georges is 31 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
