PFAS in the tap water of Savigneux (Loire): 2 ng/L, 4x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
4× above our health benchmark
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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Savigneux, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 2 ng/L (0.002 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 17 September 2025. That's 4 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6 ng/L (0.006 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 16 May 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 6 ng/L to 15 ng/L.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Savigneux safe to drink?
All the values shown here (15 July 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Savigneux's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Savigneux also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 2 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Savigneux'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 Savigneux?
The water hardness in Savigneux is 12.2 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.
