PFAS in Eygaliers's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful 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.
Sample taken in Buis-les-Baronnies, on the same distribution network as Eygaliers (EYGALIERS CHAUSSENE). 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.
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 Eygaliers safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in Eygaliers was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Turbidity 4.5 NFU on 15 July 2026 (reference ≤ 2 NFU). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur. Le paramètre Turbidité ne respecte pas la référence de qualité fixée par le code de la santé publique.”
How high are PFAS levels in Eygaliers's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 4 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 4 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Eygaliers 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 Eygaliers?
The water hardness in Eygaliers is 22.7 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
