PFAS in Saint-Antonin-du-Var's tap water: 1 ng/L, 2x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
2× 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 Lorgues, on the same distribution network as Saint-Antonin-du-Var (ADDUCTION VILLAGE SAINT-ANTONIN). 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 Saint-Antonin-du-Var, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 17 June 2025. That's 2 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, but below Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 2 ng/L (0.002 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Lorgues, on the same network. 3 checks since 6 June 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 2 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Saint-Antonin-du-Var
3 PFAS checks since 6 June 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Saint-Antonin-du-Var. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “ADDUCTION VILLAGE SAINT-ANTONIN”.
“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 | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ng/L – < 4 ng/L · calculated | 2 ng/L | Lorgues | ADDUCTION VILLAGE SAINT-ANTONIN | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Saint-Antonin-du-Var | ADDUC. ST ANTONIN CAGNOSC-MENTONE | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Saint-Antonin-du-Var | ADDUCTION VILLAGE SAINT-ANTONIN |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Antonin-du-Var safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 16 June 2026, the tap water in Saint-Antonin-du-Var 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 Saint-Antonin-du-Var's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 2 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 Saint-Antonin-du-Var 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 1 ng/L stays below.
Are PFAS levels rising in Saint-Antonin-du-Var'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 Saint-Antonin-du-Var?
The water hardness in Saint-Antonin-du-Var is 39.9 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
