PFAS in Armaillé's tap water: 0.6 ng/L, 1.2x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
1.2× above our health benchmark
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 Ombrée d'Anjou, on the same distribution network as Armaillé (CHAZE HENRY). 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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
More PFAS than in 81% of the cities we track

In Armaillé, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 0.6 ng/L (0.0006 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 24 March 2026. That's 1.2 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6.4 ng/L (0.0064 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Ombrée d'Anjou, on the same network. 2 checks since 27 August 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 6.4 ng/L to 6.7 ng/L.

PFAS over time in Armaillé
2 PFAS checks since 27 August 2025, from the published measurements.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Armaillé safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 24 March 2026, the tap water in Armaillé 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 Armaillé's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6.4 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Armaillé also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 0.6 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Armaillé's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
