PFAS in Roisel'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.
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 Roisel, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 24 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). 2 checks since 25 February 2026, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Roisel
3 PFAS checks since 24 January 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Roisel. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “HAUTE COLOGNE UDI”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L | 2 ng/L | Roisel | HAUTE COLOGNE UDI | |
| < 4 ng/L | < 29 ng/L | Bernes | VERMANDOIS UDI | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | 3 ng/L | Tincourt-Boucly | HAUTE COLOGNE UDI |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Roisel safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d’alimentation non conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour les paramètres pesticides Desphényl-Chloridazone, et Méthyl-Desphényl-Chloridazone. Toutefois, cette eau est propre à la consommation humaine car la concentration des pesticides concernés reste inférieure aux valeurs sanitaires. Un contrôle renforcé est mis en place.”
How high are PFAS levels in Roisel'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 Roisel 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 Roisel's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 24 January 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Roisel?
The water hardness in Roisel is 33.2 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
