PFAS in Saint-Jean-des-Ollières's tap water: under 4 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 4 ng/L, 8 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 Auzelles, on the same distribution network as Saint-Jean-des-Ollières (AUZELLES ST JEAN). 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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Jean-des-Ollières safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 12 June 2025, the tap water in Saint-Jean-des-Ollières was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 144 µS/cm on 12 June 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Jean-des-Ollières'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 Saint-Jean-des-Ollières 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 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
How hard is the water in Saint-Jean-des-Ollières?
No hardness value is available for Saint-Jean-des-Ollières in this source.
