PFAS in Marsac-en-Livradois's tap water: 11 ng/L, 22x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
22× 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 Marsac-en-Livradois, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 11 ng/L (0.011 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 22 June 2026. That's 22 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 11 ng/L (0.011 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 20 August 2025: PFAS-4 up to 11 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Marsac-en-Livradois
5 PFAS checks since 8 April 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Marsac-en-Livradois. Samples come from 4 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “LA PLAGNE TONVIC SUARGUES”.
“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 Marsac-en-Livradois safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 29 July 2026, the tap water in Marsac-en-Livradois was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 113 µS/cm on 29 July 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Marsac-en-Livradois'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 Marsac-en-Livradois also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 11 ng/L. That is 2.8 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 Marsac-en-Livradois's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 8 April 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Marsac-en-Livradois?
The water hardness in Marsac-en-Livradois is 1.4 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
