PFAS in Pont-Scorff's tap water: under 3 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 3 ng/L, 6 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.
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 0.5 to 1.5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 3 ng/L rather than zero.

In Pont-Scorff, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 30 June 2026. The total is below 3 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 6 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 7 checks since 29 April 2025: PFAS-4 up to 0.8 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 0.13 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Pont-Scorff safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 30 June 2026, the tap water in Pont-Scorff was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Pont-Scorff's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1 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 Pont-Scorff also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 3 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Pont-Scorff's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 29 April 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Pont-Scorff?
The water hardness in Pont-Scorff is 13.7 °f (soft). 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.
