More about this result
PFAS-4 is not published for this supply area
Sum of 20 PFAS reported as not detected (sampled 30 June 2026); the laboratory did not state its reporting limit.
Values from Pompstation Dorst, one of 2 supply areas serving Moerdijk; the others are in the table.
The four EFSA compounds (PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS) are not reported separately, so the 4 ng/L health benchmark and this site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.
Brabant Water publishes the sum of 20 PFAS, the PEQ sum and TFA per production location, not the four EFSA compounds.
The four main PFAS are not published here. Sign up below and we will tell you when they are.

In Moerdijk, the latest published PFAS-20 result (sampled 30 June 2026) is reported as not detected; the laboratory did not state its reporting limit. The EU legal limit is 100 ng/L. The four EFSA compounds (PFAS-4) are not itemised, so this water cannot be compared with the 0.5 ng/L health benchmark used by pfasnearme.

For comparison, RIVM advises 4.4 ng/L PFOA equivalents. That's a weighted sum, a different measure from our sum of four PFAS (PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS) with its 0.5 ng/L benchmark.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Moerdijk safe to drink?
All the values shown here (30 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. The four EFSA compounds (PFAS-4) are not itemised, so this water cannot be compared with the 0.5 ng/L health benchmark used by pfasnearme.
How high are PFAS levels in Moerdijk's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was reported as not detected; the laboratory did not state its reporting limit. The EU limit is 100 ng/L. (below the EU limit)
Which PFAS limits apply in the Netherlands?
The Netherlands applies the EU limit of 100 ng/L for the sum of 20 PFAS in the Drinkwaterbesluit. The RIVM advises a health-based value of 4.4 ng PEQ/L (PFOA equivalents) for all PFAS together; that is an advisory, not a limit. There is no national PFAS-4 limit; the health reference is EFSA's 4 ng/L. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark is stricter than all three.
How hard is the water in Moerdijk?
The water hardness in Moerdijk is 1.8 mmol/L (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: Brabant Water, waterkwaliteitsgegevens per productielocatie, 2026 Q2. Retrieved on 28 September 2026.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Moerdijk, so in principle the same water.

Brabant Water: water-quality data per production location, quarterly means of the sum of PFAS (20 EU), the PEQ sum and TFA (one PDF per pumping station; the four EFSA compounds are not itemised) (quarterly). Latest value dated 30 June 2026. Brabant Water replaces the PDFs each quarter, about a month after the end of the quarter.
Limits in the Netherlands. The Netherlands applies the EU limit of 100 ng/L for the sum of 20 PFAS in the Drinkwaterbesluit. The RIVM advises a health-based value of 4.4 ng PEQ/L (PFOA equivalents) for all PFAS together; that is an advisory, not a limit. There is no national PFAS-4 limit; the health reference is EFSA's 4 ng/L. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark is stricter than all three.
Kwartaalgemiddelden 2026 Q2 per pompstation uit de waterkwaliteitsgegevens van Brabant Water (PDF, Aqualab Zuid), ng/l omgerekend naar µg/L. Brabant Water publiceert per productielocatie de som van 20 PFAS (LB, lower bound), dezelfde som in PFOA-equivalenten (PEQ, gezondheidskundige grenswaarde RIVM 4,4 ng PEQ/l) en TFA, niet de vier EFSA-stoffen afzonderlijk; een PFAS-4-waarde is er daarom niet. PFAS wordt per pompstation minstens jaarlijks gemeten: een kwartaalrapport zonder PFAS-rij levert geen PFAS-som. Welke pompstations een plaats bedienen, volgt uit Brabant Waters eigen plaatsenlijst. Voor Moerdijk zijn 2 locaties bekend (Pompstation Dorst, Pompstation Seppe). De PFAS-waarde van de pagina komt van Pompstation Dorst, de locatie met de hoogste PFAS-4-waarde; de overige locaties staan in de tabel. Volgende update: Brabant Water publiceert elk kwartaal nieuwe gegevens per pompstation, ongeveer een maand na afloop van het kwartaal.
