PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 14 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 14 ng/L, 28 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 Saint-Dizant-du-Gua, on the same distribution network as Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts (R. DES COTEAUX DE GIRONDE). 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 2 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 14 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 14 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 8 July 2026. The total is below 14 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 28 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Saint-Dizant-du-Gua, on the same network. 3 checks since 28 July 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 8 July 2026, the tap water in Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”

How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts'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 Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts 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 14 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 Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts'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 Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts?

The water hardness in Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts is 28.8 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
