PFAS in the tap water of Les Angles (Gard): 26 ng/L, 52x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
52× 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 Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, on the same distribution network as Les Angles (VILLENEUVE LES ANGLES). 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.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
More PFAS than in 99% of the cities we track

In Les Angles, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 26 ng/L (0.026 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 20 January 2026. That's 52 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 77 ng/L (0.077 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, on the same network. 5 checks since 16 July 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 46 ng/L to 95 ng/L.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Les Angles
5 PFAS checks since 16 July 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Les Angles. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “VILLENEUVE LES ANGLES”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Les Angles safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 4 June 2026, the tap water in Les Angles 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 Les Angles's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 77 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 77 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Les Angles also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 26 ng/L. That is 6.5 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 Les Angles's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in Les Angles?
The water hardness in Les Angles is 28.6 °f (medium). 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.
