PFAS in Moras-en-Valloire's tap water: 10 ng/L, 20x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
20× 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 Moras-en-Valloire, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 10 ng/L (0.01 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 2 April 2026. That's 20 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 32 ng/L (0.032 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 6 checks since 17 July 2025: PFAS-4 from 9 ng/L to 15 ng/L, averaging 11.25 ng/L over 12 months. No clear trend.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Moras-en-Valloire safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 2 April 2026, the tap water in Moras-en-Valloire 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 Moras-en-Valloire's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 32 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 32 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Moras-en-Valloire also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 10 ng/L. That is 2.5 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 Moras-en-Valloire's tap water?
No clear trend. Since 17 March 2023, 6 checks have been published; on the main network the PFAS-4 sum ranged between 9 ng/L and 15 ng/L (4 quantified values), at times below the detection limit. pfasnearme only reports a trend from a change of at least 25 % and 1 ng/L. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Moras-en-Valloire?
The water hardness in Moras-en-Valloire is 24.3 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
