PFAS in Plouguiel's tap water: under 6 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, 12 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.
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 Camlez, on the same distribution network as Plouguiel (SYNDICAT DU TREGOR). 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.
The lab detects each of the four substances from 1 to 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 6 ng/L rather than zero.

In Plouguiel, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 5 February 2026. The total is below 6 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 12 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Camlez, on the same network. 5 checks since 4 February 2025: PFAS-4 up to 2.4 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1.05 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

PFAS over time in Plouguiel
5 PFAS checks since 4 February 2025, values as published. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Plouguiel.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Camlez | |
| 2.4 ng/L | 2.4 ng/L | Plouguiel | |
| 1.8 ng/L | 1.8 ng/L | Plouguiel | |
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Plouguiel | |
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Plouguiel |
“<” means not detected, the figure being the detection limit. “–” means not published. Labs have only reported the PFAS-4 sum (SANDRE code 9268) since autumn 2025. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Plouguiel safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 24 June 2026, the tap water in Plouguiel was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité : eau incrustante”
How high are PFAS levels in Plouguiel's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Plouguiel also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 6 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
Are PFAS levels rising in Plouguiel's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (2 since 4 February 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Plouguiel?
The water hardness in Plouguiel is 21 °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 21 September 2026.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Plouguiel, so in principle the same water.
