PFAS in the tap water of Moulin-Neuf (Ariège): 2 ng/L, 4x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
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 Moulin-Neuf, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 2 ng/L (0.002 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 4 November 2025. That's 4 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 5 ng/L (0.005 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 1 July 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 5 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Moulin-Neuf
3 PFAS checks since 1 July 2025, from the published measurements. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “MOULIN-NEUF”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 ng/L – < 24 ng/L · calculated | 5 ng/L | MOULIN-NEUF | |
| < 22 ng/L · calculated | < 2 ng/L | CAZALS DES FAURES | |
| < 20 ng/L · calculated | < 2 ng/L | MOULIN-NEUF |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Moulin-Neuf safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 6 May 2026, the tap water in Moulin-Neuf 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 Moulin-Neuf's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Moulin-Neuf 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 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Moulin-Neuf'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 Moulin-Neuf?
The water hardness in Moulin-Neuf is 23.2 °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.
