PFAS in the tap water of Antignac (Cantal): under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Antignac safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 10 March 2026, the tap water in Antignac was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 80 µS/cm on 10 March 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Résultats d'analyses conformes à la norme. Toutefois, présence de spores de bactéries anaérobies sulfito-réductrices et présence excessi ves de germes à 22°C : eau de qualité sanitaire non satisfaisante.”
How high are PFAS levels in Antignac's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 71 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 71 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Antignac 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.
How hard is the water in Antignac?
The water hardness in Antignac is 2.2 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
