PFAS in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg's tap water: 6.4 ng/L, 12.8x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
12.8× above our health benchmark
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).
More PFAS than in 94% of the cities we track

PFAS over time in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg
4 PFAS checks since 22 January 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Villez-sur-le-Neubourg.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non conforme à la limite de qualité fixée pour les nitrates : il est recommandé aux femmes enceintes et nourrissons de ne pas consommer cette eau. Eau également non conforme à la limite de qualité pour le Chlorothalon il R417888 : ce dépassement n’empêche pas la consommation de l’eau (la valeur sanitaire transitoire de gestion fixée à 3µg/L n’étant pas dép assée). La collectivité bénéficie d'une dérogation préfectorale l’autorisant à distribuer une eau destinée à la consommation humaine dépassant la li mite de qualité de 50 mg/l pour les nitrates pendant la durée des trav aux nécessaires au retour à la conformité. Un contrôle renforcé de la qualité de l’eau est mis en place pour suiv re l’évolution de ces paramètres.”
How high are PFAS levels in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 10.3 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 Villez-sur-le-Neubourg also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 6.4 ng/L. That is 1.6 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).
Are PFAS levels rising in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg'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 Villez-sur-le-Neubourg?
The water hardness in Villez-sur-le-Neubourg is 30.4 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
