PFAS in Chalautre-la-Grande's tap water: under 4 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 4 ng/L, 8 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.
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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Chalautre-la-Grande safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité pour le paramètre chloridazone desphényl sans dépassement du seuil sanitaire. En l’état actuel des connaissances scientifiques, aucune restriction d’usage n’est nécessaire, l’eau peut donc être consommée. Un suivi renforcé est mis en place pour surveiller l’évolution de la situation. La personne responsable de la distribution de l’eau doit engager un programme d’actions visant à réduire les teneurs du paramètre concerné. Les autres paramètres recherchés dans le cadre du contrôle sanitaire sont conformes aux exigences du code de la santé publique.”
How high are PFAS levels in Chalautre-la-Grande's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Chalautre-la-Grande also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
How hard is the water in Chalautre-la-Grande?
The water hardness in Chalautre-la-Grande is 30.9 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
