PFAS in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin'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 Vineuil-Saint-Firmin, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 23 March 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: 15 ng/L (0.015 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 15 January 2026, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 9 June 2026, the tap water in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin 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 Vineuil-Saint-Firmin's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 15 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin 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 Vineuil-Saint-Firmin's tap water?
No. Since 15 January 2026, 3 checks have been published and the PFAS-4 sum stayed below the laboratory's detection limit (4 ng/L) every time.
How hard is the water in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin?
The water hardness in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin is 33.4 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
