PFAS in Chusclan's tap water: 12 ng/L, 24x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
24× 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.
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).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Chusclan safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 July 2026, the tap water in Chusclan was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Chusclan's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 77 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 77 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Chusclan also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 12 ng/L. That is 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).
How hard is the water in Chusclan?
The water hardness in Chusclan is 20.5 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
