PFAS in Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française'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 1.5 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 Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux exigences de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was reported as not detected; the laboratory did not state its reporting limit. The EU limit is 100 ng/L. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française 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 Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française?
The water hardness in Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française is 0.9 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
