PFAS in Saint-Léger-Bridereix's tap water: under 6 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 6 ng/L, 12 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 to 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 6 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Léger-Bridereix safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 July 2026, the tap water in Saint-Léger-Bridereix was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 1 n/(100mL) on 23 July 2026 (reference ≤ 0 mL)), pH 6 unité pH on 29 June 2026 (reference 6.5–9 unité pH), Electrical conductivity 78 µS/cm on 29 June 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Les résultats de cette contre-analyse mettent en évidence la persistance d'une contamination bactériologique de cette desserte.La présence récurrente de ces bactéries nécessite une inspection des ouvrages de collecte et de stockage. De plus, une étude sur le réseau doit être mise en œuvre afin de déceler les sources de contaminations potentielles (double réseau).”
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Léger-Bridereix'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-Léger-Bridereix 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 6 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
How hard is the water in Saint-Léger-Bridereix?
The water hardness in Saint-Léger-Bridereix is 1.9 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
