PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 6 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Taden, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 10 June 2026. The total is below 6 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 12 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 4 checks since 17 June 2025: PFAS-4 up to 11.2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 2.8 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

PFAS over time in Taden

5 PFAS checks since 19 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Taden.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Taden safe to drink?

All the values shown here (23 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité et conforme aux références de qualité. Ce contrôle confirme les résultats du prélèvement du 10/06/2026 , qui avait mis en évidence des résultats non satisfaisants sur le paramètre Chlorate . La valeur la plus faible possible de ce paramètre doit être visée sans pour autant compromettre la désinfection. La réglementation fixe une limite de qualité à 700 µg/l lorsqu'une méthode de désinfection des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine qui génère des chlorates est utilisée. Au delà de cette valeur, il est recommandé de ne pas consommer cette eau, une restriction d'usage est nécessaire. La présence de chlorates peut avoir pour origine la présence d'impuretés dans le désinfectant employé (javel, hypochlorite de calcium ...), dans ce cas la limite de qualité est fixée à 250 µg/l. Il convient, pour respecter cette exigence, de veiller à la pureté des réactifs employés ainsi qu'à leur condition de stockage et d'emploi (dosage, utilisation sous 3 mois après la livraison). Compte tenu de la teneur mesurée en chlorates sur ce prélèvement, un suivi renforcé sera mis en place sur ce paramètre.”

How high are PFAS levels in Taden'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 Taden 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.

Are PFAS levels rising in Taden's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 19 March 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Taden?

The water hardness in Taden is 20 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?
