PFAS in Landéan's tap water: 4.57 ng/L, 9.1x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark

PFAS in drinking water
9.1× 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 Parigné, on the same distribution network as Landéan (EAU PAYS FOUGERE_FONTAINE_PARIGNE). 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.
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 Landéan, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 4.57 ng/L (0.0046 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 22 October 2025. That's 9.1 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6.59 ng/L (0.0066 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Parigné, on the same network. 2 checks since 22 September 2025: PFAS-4 from 3.27 ng/L to 4.57 ng/L. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Landéan safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 30 June 2026, the tap water in Landéan 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 Landéan's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6.59 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 7 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Landéan also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 4.57 ng/L. That is 1.14 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 Landéan's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 22 September 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Landéan?
The water hardness in Landéan is 7 °f (soft). 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 12 September 2026.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Landéan, so in principle the same water.
