PFAS in Chamelet's tap water: 41 ng/L, 82x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
82× 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 Grandris, on the same distribution network as Chamelet (HAUTE VALLÉE D'AZERGUES). 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.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Chamelet, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 41 ng/L (0.041 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 6 July 2026. That's 82 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 78 ng/L (0.078 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Grandris, on the same network. 2 checks since 16 January 2026: PFAS-4 from 37 ng/L to 41 ng/L. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Chamelet safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 6 July 2026, the tap water in Chamelet 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 Chamelet's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 78 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 78 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Chamelet also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 41 ng/L. That is 10.3 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 Chamelet's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 16 January 2026). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Chamelet?
The water hardness in Chamelet is 26.9 °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 21 September 2026.
