PFAS in Talon's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 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 Monceaux-le-Comte, on the same distribution network as Talon (MONTCEAUX LE COMTE). 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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Talon, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 2 June 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 10 ng/L (0.01 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Monceaux-le-Comte, on the same network. 2 checks since 29 August 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Talon safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 2 June 2026, the tap water in Talon was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 1,133 µS/cm on 24 January 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés excepté la conductivité. Une dérogat ion temporaire aux limites de qualité des eaux destinées à la consomma tion humaine applicable au paramètre fluor et portant restriction des usages de l’eau à des fins alimentaires pour les nourrissons et les en fants (jusqu’à 12 ans) est accordée au SIAEP de Charles Chaigneau par arrêté préfectoral n°58-2022-04-26-0002 du 26 avril 2022.”
How high are PFAS levels in Talon's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 10 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 10 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Talon also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Talon's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 29 August 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Talon?
No hardness value is available for Talon in this source.
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.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Talon, so in principle the same water.
