PFAS in Aubord's tap water: 63 ng/L, 126x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
126× 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.
More about this result
The US also limits PFOA and PFOS to 4 ng/L each, per substance.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Aubord, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 63 ng/L (0.063 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 8 July 2026. That's 126 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 129 ng/L (0.129 µg/L), above the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 9 checks since 23 January 2026: PFAS-4 from 62 ng/L to 83 ng/L, averaging 68 ng/L over 12 months. No clear trend.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Aubord safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Aubord's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 129 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 129 % of the limit. (above the EU limit)
Does the water in Aubord also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 63 ng/L. That is 15.8 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The sum of 20 PFAS is 129 ng/L, above the EU legal limit of 100 ng/L.
Are PFAS levels rising in Aubord's tap water?
No clear trend. Since 28 October 2025, 9 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 62 ng/L and 83 ng/L (9 quantified values), at times below the detection limit. pfasnearme only reports a trend from a change of at least 25 % and 1 ng/L. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Aubord?
The water hardness in Aubord is 24.8 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
