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, 18 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 Mondement-Montgivroux, on the same distribution network as Oyes (CCSSOM MONDEMENT). 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 Oyes, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 16 March 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: 18 ng/L (0.018 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Mondement-Montgivroux, on the same network. 2 checks since 24 June 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 17 ng/L to 18 ng/L.

PFAS over time in Oyes

2 PFAS checks since 24 June 2025, from the published measurements.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

What the latest check found

At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit.

Microbiology: within the limit Chemistry: over the limit

Values to watch

These results are close to their legal limit, or over it.

Outside a reference value: Turbidity 2.3 NFU on 14 April 2025 (reference ≤ 2 NFU). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Oyes safe to drink?

At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau NON CONFORME pour les paramètres physico-chimiques contrôlés. Teneur en NITRATES supérieure à la limite de qualité fixée à 50 mg/l. L'eau peut être utilisée pour les usages sanitaires courants mais ne doit pas être consommée par les nourrissons et les femmes enceintes. Concernant le problème des NITRATES, une modification de la ressource est nécessaire. De plus, le résultat des analyses révèle une turbidité supérieure à la référence de qualité réglementaire fixée à 2 NFU pour une eau destinée à la consommation humaine. L'eau et les installations sont à surveiller. Des purges ponctuelles sur le réservoir et en distribution sont nécessaires dans l'immédiat. Un résiduel en chlore de 0,3 mg/l doit être maintenu en permanence sur le réseau de distribution.”

How high are PFAS levels in Oyes's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 18 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 18 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Oyes 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 Oyes's tap water?

Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.

How hard is the water in Oyes?

No hardness value is available for Oyes in this source.
