PFAS in La Voulte-sur-Rhône's tap water: 10 ng/L, 20x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
20× 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.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In La Voulte-sur-Rhône, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 10 ng/L (0.01 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 2 June 2026. That's 20 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 21 ng/L (0.021 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 6 checks since 17 September 2025: PFAS-4 from 10 ng/L to 18 ng/L, averaging 14 ng/L over 12 months.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in La Voulte-sur-Rhône safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in La Voulte-sur-Rhône 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 La Voulte-sur-Rhône's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 21 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 21 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in La Voulte-sur-Rhône also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 10 ng/L. That is 2.5 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 La Voulte-sur-Rhône's tap water?
No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 17 ng/L (17 September 2025) to 12 ng/L (6 May 2026) across 3 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in La Voulte-sur-Rhône?
The water hardness in La Voulte-sur-Rhône is 27.2 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
