PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 4 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 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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Lantosque, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 20 May 2025. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,100 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 10 checks since 8 November 2024: sum of 20 PFAS up to 2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Lantosque

10 PFAS checks since 8 November 2024, from the published measurements. Samples come from 10 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “LANTOSQUE CAMARI-ST COLOMBAN..”.

“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Lantosque safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 31 July 2026, the tap water in Lantosque was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation présentant température excessive au niveau du point de prélèvement. Une température élevée peut favoriser la croissance bactérienne.”

How high are PFAS levels in Lantosque'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 Lantosque 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.

Are PFAS levels rising in Lantosque'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 Lantosque?

The water hardness in Lantosque is 20.6 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
