2× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 1 ng/L 0.001 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).

In Treffrin, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 19 May 2026. That's 2 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 10.4 ng/L (0.0104 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 16 March 2026: PFAS-4 up to 1 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Treffrin safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 19 May 2026, the tap water in Treffrin 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 Treffrin's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 10.4 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 10 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Treffrin 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 1 ng/L stays below.

Are PFAS levels rising in Treffrin's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 16 March 2026). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.

How hard is the water in Treffrin?

The water hardness in Treffrin is 10 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?

All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 12 September 2026.

Same water network

Same distribution network as Treffrin, so in principle the same water.
