PFAS in Corrençon-en-Vercors's tap water: 8 ng/L, 16x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
16× 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).

In Corrençon-en-Vercors, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 8 ng/L (0.008 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 22 May 2026. That's 16 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 10 ng/L (0.01 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 9 May 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 7 ng/L to 10 ng/L.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Corrençon-en-Vercors safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 22 July 2026, the tap water in Corrençon-en-Vercors 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 Corrençon-en-Vercors's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 10 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 10 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Corrençon-en-Vercors also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 8 ng/L. That is 2 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 Corrençon-en-Vercors'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 Corrençon-en-Vercors?
The water hardness in Corrençon-en-Vercors is 24.7 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
