PFAS in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont's tap water: under 4 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 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.
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.

PFAS over time in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont
3 PFAS checks since 16 June 2025, from the published measurements. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “RESEAU DE COMBE MOTTU”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 28 ng/L | RESEAU DES EGATS | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 28 ng/L | RESEAU DE COMBE MOTTU | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 28 ng/L | RESEAU DE MALBUISSON |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 12 March 2026, the tap water in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont 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-Laurent-en-Beaumont's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 28 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 28 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont 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.
Are PFAS levels rising in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont'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-Laurent-en-Beaumont?
The water hardness in Saint-Laurent-en-Beaumont is 29.1 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
