PFAS in Antran's tap water: 4 ng/L, 8x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
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 Vaux-sur-Vienne, on the same distribution network as Antran (VAUX SV VAUX). 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 Antran, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 4 ng/L (0.004 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 21 May 2026. That's 8 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, exactly at Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 7.2 ng/L (0.0072 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Vaux-sur-Vienne, on the same network. 4 checks since 22 May 2025: PFAS-4 from 1.8 ng/L to 5.6 ng/L, averaging 3.33 ng/L over 12 months. Rising on the main network.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Antran safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 21 May 2026, the tap water in Antran 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 Antran's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 7.2 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 7 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
