PFAS in Bagiry'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 Seilhan, on the same distribution network as Bagiry (BAROUSSE ST NERE). 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 1.5 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.

In Bagiry, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 28 January 2026. The total is below 6 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 12 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,044 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Seilhan, on the same network. 3 checks since 8 September 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 34 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Bagiry
3 PFAS checks since 8 September 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Bagiry.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 6 ng/L | < 44 ng/L | Seilhan | |
| < 17 ng/L · calculated | 34 ng/L | Ferrère | |
| < 17 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Ferrère |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Bagiry safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 11 February 2026, the tap water in Bagiry was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 190 µS/cm on 11 February 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Bagiry's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 44 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 44 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Bagiry 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.
Are PFAS levels rising in Bagiry'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.
How hard is the water in Bagiry?
The water hardness in Bagiry is 10 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 12 September 2026.
