PFAS in Andé's tap water: under 6 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, 12 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.
Sample taken in Herqueville, on the same distribution network as Andé (ANDE). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.
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 to 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 6 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Andé safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 5 May 2026, the tap water in Andé was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l 'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. Toutefois, en raison de la présence régulière de nitrates à des concentrations supérieures à la limite de qualité, il est recommandé aux femmes enceintes et nourrissons de ne pas consommer cette eau.”
How high are PFAS levels in Andé's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Andé also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 6 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
How hard is the water in Andé?
The water hardness in Andé is 31.1 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
