PFAS in Tressignaux's tap water: 2.4 ng/L, 4.8x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
4.8× 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 Tréguidel, on the same distribution network as Tressignaux (TRESSIGNAUX TREGUIDEL PLEGUIEN). 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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

In Tressignaux, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 2.4 ng/L (0.0024 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 23 February 2026. That's 4.8 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 2.4 ng/L (0.0024 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Tréguidel, on the same network. 3 checks since 19 June 2025: PFAS-4 from 1.3 ng/L to 2.4 ng/L, averaging 1.7 ng/L over 12 months. Rising on the main network.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Tressignaux 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. “Les analyses réalisées mettent en évidence des résultats conformes pour les paramètres recherchés. Ce contrôle fait suite au prélèvement du 12/06 qui avait mis en évidence des résultats non satisfaisants (bulletin adressé par ailleurs).”
How high are PFAS levels in Tressignaux's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2.4 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 2 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Tressignaux also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 2.4 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Tressignaux's tap water?
Yes. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum rose from 1.3 ng/L (19 June 2025) to 2.4 ng/L (23 February 2026) across 3 quantified checks. pfasnearme's benchmark is 0.5 ng/L as an annual mean.
How hard is the water in Tressignaux?
The water hardness in Tressignaux is 16 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
