PFAS in Lantic's tap water: 2.4 ng/L, 4.8x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
4.8× 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 Plourhan, on the same distribution network as Lantic (SYNDICAT DE PLOURHAN-LANTIC). 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 Lantic, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 2.4 ng/L (0.0024 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 2 July 2026. That's 4.8 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 2.4 ng/L (0.0024 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Plourhan, on the same network. 2 checks since 10 February 2025: PFAS-4 up to 2.4 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Lantic safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 2 July 2026, the tap water in Lantic 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 Lantic's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2.4 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 2 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Lantic also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest legal limit, Sweden's 4 ng/L in force since 2026, the measured value of 2.4 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Lantic's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 10 February 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Lantic?
The water hardness in Lantic is 14 °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.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Lantic, so in principle the same water.
