PFAS in Palluau-sur-Indre's tap water: 1.3 ng/L, 2.6x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
2.6× 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).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Palluau-sur-Indre safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme à la limite de qualité pour le paramètre nitrate (50 mg/l) et non satisfaction de la référence de qualité pour le paramètre température de l'eau. Eau non recommandée aux femmes enceintes et aux nourrissons de moins de 6 mois. Recontrôle programmé.”
How high are PFAS levels in Palluau-sur-Indre's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1.3 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Palluau-sur-Indre 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 1.3 ng/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Palluau-sur-Indre?
The water hardness in Palluau-sur-Indre is 30.1 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
