PFAS in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs's tap water: under 13 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 13 ng/L, 26 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 Montmurat, on the same distribution network as Saint-Santin-de-Maurs (MONTMURAT - ST SANTIN). 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 1.5 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 13 ng/L rather than zero.

In Saint-Santin-de-Maurs, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 15 July 2026. The total is below 13 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 26 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,0895 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Montmurat, on the same network. 2 checks since 30 October 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (13 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs was within every limit tested. “Eau de qualité sanitaire satisfaisante. Cependant, taux de chlore élevé.”
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 89.5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 89 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs 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 13 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-Santin-de-Maurs's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 30 October 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs?
The water hardness in Saint-Santin-de-Maurs is 10 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
