PFAS in the tap water of Larré (Morbihan): under 4.5 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 4.5 ng/L, 9 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 Elven, on the same distribution network as Larré (QUESTEMBERT OUEST). 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 0.5 to 1.5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4.5 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Larré safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 9 April 2026, the tap water in Larré 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 Larré's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Larré also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 4.5 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
How hard is the water in Larré?
The water hardness in Larré is 11.1 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
