PFAS in Sous-Parsat's tap water: under 44 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 44 ng/L, 88 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 40 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 44 ng/L rather than zero.

In Sous-Parsat, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 13 October 2025. The total is below 44 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 88 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 2 checks since 7 October 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Sous-Parsat
2 PFAS checks since 7 October 2025, from the published measurements. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “SOUS PARSAT DONZEIL”.
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 44 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | SOUS PARSAT LES FAYOLLES | |
| < 44 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | SOUS PARSAT DONZEIL |
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 Sous-Parsat safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 11 June 2026, the tap water in Sous-Parsat was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: pH 6 unité pH on 11 June 2026 (reference 6.5–9 unité pH), Electrical conductivity 70 µS/cm on 11 June 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité définies par le Code de la Santé Publique, pour les paramètres mesurés au moment du prélèvement, à l’exception des paramètres pH et conductivité. Cette eau très peu minéralisée, corrosive pour les métaux, nécessite la remise en service du traitement de neutralisation.”
How high are PFAS levels in Sous-Parsat'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 Sous-Parsat 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 44 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 Sous-Parsat'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 Sous-Parsat?
The water hardness in Sous-Parsat is 1.7 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
