PFAS in Teillet-Argenty's tap water: 25 ng/L, 50x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
50× 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.
Sample taken in Domérat, on the same distribution network as Teillet-Argenty (RESEAU PRAT - RIVE GAUCHE CHER). 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.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Teillet-Argenty, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 25 ng/L (0.025 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 3 February 2026. That's 50 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 60 ng/L (0.06 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Domérat, on the same network. 2 checks since 2 September 2025: PFAS-4 up to 25 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Teillet-Argenty
5 PFAS checks since 2 April 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Teillet-Argenty.
“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 | Sampled at |

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Teillet-Argenty safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 3 February 2026, the tap water in Teillet-Argenty was within every limit tested. “Eau conforme aux limites et aux références de qualité pour ce qui concerne les paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Teillet-Argenty's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 60 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 60 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Teillet-Argenty also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 25 ng/L. That is 6.3 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
Are PFAS levels rising in Teillet-Argenty's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 2 April 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 Teillet-Argenty?
No hardness value is available for Teillet-Argenty in this source.
