PFAS in drinking water

44× above our health benchmark

Amount found in the water 22 ng/L 0.022 µg/L · the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4)
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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.

How we chose 0.5 ng/L

Sample taken in Condrieu, on the same distribution network as Beauvallon (MONTS DU LYONNAIS). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.

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).

PFAS over time in Beauvallon

58 PFAS checks since 7 March 2023, from the published measurements. Samples from 24 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Beauvallon. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “MILLERY MORNANT PRINCIPALE”.

“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 Beauvallon safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 3 June 2026, the tap water in Beauvallon 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 Beauvallon's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 62 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 62 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Beauvallon also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 22 ng/L. That is 5.5 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).

Are PFAS levels rising in Beauvallon's tap water?

No clear trend. Since 7 March 2023, 10 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 13 ng/L and 22 ng/L (5 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 Beauvallon?

The water hardness in Beauvallon is 21.2 °f (medium). 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.
