PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 17 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 17 ng/L, 34 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 Bégole, on the same distribution network as Antin (VALLEE DU LIZON). 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 2 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 17 ng/L rather than zero.

Acide perfluoroheptanoïque (PFHPA) <0,005 µg/L

None found. The lab sees nothing below 17 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Antin, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 24 September 2025. The total is below 17 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 34 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,1 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Bégole, on the same network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

PFAS over time in Antin

A single PFAS check has been published for Antin so far (24 September 2025). A history will build up with the next checks; this page is refreshed weekly.

What the latest check found

At the latest check, the water was within every limit tested.

Microbiology: within the limit Chemistry: within the limit

Values to watch

These results are close to their legal limit, or over it.

Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 137 µS/cm on 8 August 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Antin safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 24 September 2025, the tap water in Antin was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 137 µS/cm on 8 August 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour les paramètres mesurés à l'exception des chlorites. Sans compromettre la désinfection, la valeur la plus faible possible doit être visée.”

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

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

Does the water in Antin also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 17 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.

How hard is the water in Antin?

No hardness value is available for Antin in this source.

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 12 September 2026.

Same water network

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