PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 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 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 Marcilloles, on the same distribution network as Thodure (MARCILLOLES RESEAU). 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 Thodure, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 24 November 2025. 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: <0,029 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Marcilloles, on the same network. 5 checks since 11 September 2025: PFAS-4 up to 6 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 2 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0).

PFAS over time in Thodure

12 PFAS checks since 29 July 2024, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Thodure. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “MARCILLOLES RESEAU”.

“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 Thodure safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 17 July 2026, the tap water in Thodure was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”

How high are PFAS levels in Thodure's drinking water?

At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Thodure 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 Thodure's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 29 July 2024). 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 Thodure?

The water hardness in Thodure is 17.8 °f (medium). 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.

Same water network

Same distribution network as Thodure, so in principle the same water.
