PFAS in Antoigné's tap water: 6.8 ng/L, 13.6x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
13.6× 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 Montreuil-Bellay, on the same distribution network as Antoigné (MONTREUIL BELLAY). 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 Antoigné, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 6.8 ng/L (0.0068 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 21 May 2026. That's 13.6 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 16 ng/L (0.016 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Montreuil-Bellay, on the same network. 3 checks since 9 January 2025: sum of 20 PFAS from 5.8 ng/L to 16 ng/L.

PFAS over time in Antoigné
3 PFAS checks since 9 January 2025, from the published measurements.
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.8 ng/L – < 7.8 ng/L · calculated | 16 ng/L | Montreuil-Bellay | |

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Antoigné safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 11 June 2026, the tap water in Antoigné was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Antoigné's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 16 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 16 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Antoigné also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 6.8 ng/L. That is 1.7 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 Antoigné'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 Antoigné?
The water hardness in Antoigné is 24.4 °f (medium). 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 12 September 2026.
