Drinking water quality in Toul
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.008 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 8 % of the limit. (16 February 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.008 µg/L. That is 2 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. Germany will set a similar limit in 2028.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Official assessment
The authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
„Eau d'alimentation ne satisfaisant pas la référence de qualité réglementaire pour le paramètre température. La température n'entraîne pas de risque direct pour le consommateur mais peut favoriser la croissance bactérienne, diminuer l'efficacité de certains traitements de l'eau et induire des problèmes de saveur, d'odeur, de couleur et de corrosion.“

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Toul safe to drink?
All the values shown here (24 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
How high are PFAS levels in Toul's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.008 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 8 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Toul also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.008 µg/L. That is 2 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. The water still passes the current EU limit (0.1 µg/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
How hard is the water in Toul?
The water hardness in Toul is 24.7 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
