PFAS in Verdun-sur-Garonne's tap water: 8 ng/L, 16x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
16× 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 Grisolles, on the same distribution network as Verdun-sur-Garonne (GRISOLLES (UDI)). 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 Verdun-sur-Garonne, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 8 ng/L (0.008 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 13 October 2025. That's 16 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,044 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Grisolles, on the same network. 2 checks since 28 July 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (44 ng/L).

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Verdun-sur-Garonne
2 PFAS checks since 28 July 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Verdun-sur-Garonne. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “GRISOLLES (UDI)”.
“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 | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 ng/L – < 9.5 ng/L · calculated | < 44 ng/L | Grisolles | GRISOLLES (UDI) | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < 44 ng/L | Verdun-sur-Garonne | VERDUN SUR GARONNE (UDI) |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Verdun-sur-Garonne safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 22 July 2026, the tap water in Verdun-sur-Garonne was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité. Ce non respect des exigences porte sur la température de l'eau.”
How high are PFAS levels in Verdun-sur-Garonne's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 44 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 44 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Verdun-sur-Garonne also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 8 ng/L. That is 2 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 Verdun-sur-Garonne's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in Verdun-sur-Garonne?
The water hardness in Verdun-sur-Garonne is 14.3 °f (soft). 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.
