PFAS in Lussault-sur-Loire's tap water: 6 ng/L, 12x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
12× 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).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Lussault-sur-Loire safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 10 July 2026, the tap water in Lussault-sur-Loire was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité pour la température. Une température élevée de l’eau stimule la croissance des micro-organismes et peut accroître les problèmes liés au goût, à l’odeur, à la coloration et à la corrosion.”
How high are PFAS levels in Lussault-sur-Loire's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 11 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 11 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Lussault-sur-Loire also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 6 ng/L. That is 1.5 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).
How hard is the water in Lussault-sur-Loire?
The water hardness in Lussault-sur-Loire is 20.7 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
