PFAS in Six-Fours-les-Plages's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Six-Fours-les-Plages safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 July 2026, the tap water in Six-Fours-les-Plages was within every limit tested. “Eau conforme aux limites de qualité fixées par le Code de la Santé Publique concernant les eaux destinées à la consommation humaine pour les paramètres recherchés. A noter le dépassement de la référence de qualité pour le paramètre température. Les températures élevées peuvent favoriser les développements microbiens. Des actions doivent être mises en oeuvre afin d'isoler les canalisations pour respecter la référence de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Six-Fours-les-Plages's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Six-Fours-les-Plages 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 Six-Fours-les-Plages's tap water?
No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 14 ng/L (6 January 2026) to 10 ng/L (13 May 2026) across 3 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Six-Fours-les-Plages?
The water hardness in Six-Fours-les-Plages is 30.5 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
