PFAS in Noizay's tap water: 6.2 ng/L, 12.4x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
12.4× 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.
Sample taken in Nazelles-Négron, on the same distribution network as Noizay (NAZELLES BAS). 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.
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).
More PFAS than in 94% of the cities we track

In Noizay, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 6.2 ng/L (0.0062 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 4 June 2025. That's 12.4 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6.2 ng/L (0.0062 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Nazelles-Négron, on the same network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Noizay safe to drink?
All the values shown here (26 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité pour la température. Ce contrôle fait suite aux résultats d'analyses du prélèvement du 23/06/2026 qui présentaient une concentration en manganèse non conforme, en application de l'article R.1321-17 du code de la santé publique. 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 Noizay's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6.2 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Noizay also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 6.2 ng/L. That is 1.55 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 Noizay?
The water hardness in Noizay is 22.6 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
