PFAS in Notre-Dame-du-Pé's tap water: 0.7 ng/L, 1.4x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
1.4× 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 Bazouges Cré sur Loir, on the same distribution network as Notre-Dame-du-Pé (BAZOUGES SUR LE LOIR). 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).

In Notre-Dame-du-Pé, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 0.7 ng/L (0.0007 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 25 February 2026. That's 1.4 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 14 ng/L (0.014 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Bazouges Cré sur Loir, on the same network. 3 checks since 20 February 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 14 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Notre-Dame-du-Pé safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 July 2026, the tap water in Notre-Dame-du-Pé was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité pour la température de l'eau >25°.”
How high are PFAS levels in Notre-Dame-du-Pé's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 14 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 14 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Notre-Dame-du-Pé 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 0.7 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Notre-Dame-du-Pé'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 Notre-Dame-du-Pé?
The water hardness in Notre-Dame-du-Pé is 33.8 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
