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, 2 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 Chézy-sur-Marne, on the same distribution network as Romeny-sur-Marne (UDI DE ESSOMES). 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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Romeny-sur-Marne, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 8 January 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). Sampled in Chézy-sur-Marne, on the same network. 3 checks since 16 February 2024: sum of 20 PFAS up to 2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Romeny-sur-Marne safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 6 February 2026, the tap water in Romeny-sur-Marne 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 Romeny-sur-Marne'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 Romeny-sur-Marne 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 Romeny-sur-Marne'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 Romeny-sur-Marne?

The water hardness in Romeny-sur-Marne is 39.7 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
