PFAS in drinking water

22× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 11 ng/L 0.011 µg/L · the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4)
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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).

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Pacy-sur-Eure safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 8 June 2026, the tap water in Pacy-sur-Eure 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 Pacy-sur-Eure's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 15 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Pacy-sur-Eure also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 11 ng/L. That is 2.8 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).

How hard is the water in Pacy-sur-Eure?

The water hardness in Pacy-sur-Eure is 30.1 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
