PFAS in Le Bodéo's tap water: 2.7 ng/L, 5.4x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
5.4× 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 Le Bodéo, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 2.7 ng/L (0.0027 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 12 March 2026. That's 5.4 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 2.7 ng/L (0.0027 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 10 April 2025: PFAS-4 up to 2.7 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Le Bodéo
2 PFAS checks since 10 April 2025, values as published. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Le Bodéo.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7 ng/L | 2.7 ng/L | Le Bodéo | |
| < detection limit | < detection limit | La Harmoye |
“<” means not detected, the figure being the detection limit. “–” means not published. Labs have only reported the PFAS-4 sum (SANDRE code 9268) since autumn 2025. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Le Bodéo safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 12 March 2026, the tap water in Le Bodéo was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité. L'étude de l'équilibre calco-carbonique met en évidence une eau agressive. L'agressivité de l'eau peut entraîner une corrosion de certaines canalisations ainsi que des appareils ménagers (donc leur vieillissement prématuré). D'un point de vue sanitaire, cette agressivité peut présenter un risque en cas de canalisations ou de branchements en plomb.”
How high are PFAS levels in Le Bodéo's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2.7 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Le Bodéo also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 2.7 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Le Bodéo's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 10 April 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Le Bodéo?
The water hardness in Le Bodéo is 10 °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.
