PFAS in Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or's tap water: 10 ng/L, 20x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
20× 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 Lyon, on the same distribution network as Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or (NORD (METROPOLE LYON)). 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 Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 10 ng/L (0.01 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 16 July 2026. That's 20 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 17 ng/L (0.017 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Lyon, on the same network. 15 checks since 23 October 2025: PFAS-4 from 4 ng/L to 14 ng/L, averaging 8.33 ng/L over 12 months. Rising on the main network.
