PFAS in Anzême's tap water: under 13 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 13 ng/L, 26 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 1.5 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 13 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Anzême safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in Anzême was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité définies par le Code de la Santé Publique, pour les paramètres mesurés au moment du prélèvement.”
How high are PFAS levels in Anzême'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 Anzême 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 13 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 Anzême?
The water hardness in Anzême is 12.6 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
