Drinking water quality in Argentat-sur-Dordogne
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (11 March 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Official assessment
The latest official test passed all quality requirements.
„Examen conforme aux limites de qualité fixées par le Code de la Santé Publique (Art. R 1321-1 à R 1321-68). Référence de qualité des eaux fixée par le Code de la Santé Publique (Art. R 1321-1 à R 1321-68) non satisfaite pour le paramètre conductivité. De par sa faible minéralisation, cette eau est agressive vis à vis des métaux. Teneur en chlore insuffisante (Inférieure au seuil de détection). Une vérification de la désinfection est demandée à l'exploitant.“
