PFAS in drinking water

No 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, none found
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.

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 Vailly-sur-Aisne, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 5 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: <0,029 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Vailly-sur-Aisne safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 5 June 2026, the tap water in Vailly-sur-Aisne was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 1 n/(100mL) on 5 June 2026 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur mais non satisfaisante aux références de qualité pour le paramètre bactéries coliformes. Il est demandé de remédier à la situation de non-conformité constatée. En attendant, l'eau reste consommable.”

How high are PFAS levels in Vailly-sur-Aisne's drinking water?

At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Vailly-sur-Aisne 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.

How hard is the water in Vailly-sur-Aisne?

The water hardness in Vailly-sur-Aisne is 25.1 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
