PFAS in Trans-en-Provence's tap water: 5 ng/L, 10x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
10× 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.
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 Trans-en-Provence, the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) add up to 5 ng/L (0.005 µg/L) at the latest PFAS check on 16 July 2026. That's 10 times our 0.5 ng/L health benchmark, and above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L. Sum of 20 PFAS: 11 ng/L (0.011 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 3 checks since 30 March 2026: PFAS-4 from 5 ng/L to 6 ng/L.

PFAS over time in Trans-en-Provence
7 PFAS checks since 17 January 2025, from the published measurements. Samples come from 4 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “ADDUCTION TRANS VILLAGE-LA CROIX”.
“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 Trans-en-Provence safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 16 July 2026, the tap water in Trans-en-Provence was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 2,160 µS/cm on 16 July 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm), Chloride 315 mg/L on 16 July 2026 (reference ≤ 250 mg/L), Sulphate 392 mg/L on 16 July 2026 (reference ≤ 250 mg/L). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “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 les paramètres sulfates, chlorures et conductivité. L'utilisation de l'eau pour la boisson et la préparation des aliments est déconseillée pour les nourrissons en raison d'un éventuel effet laxatif engendré par les sulfates. Les chlorures et la conductivité n'ont pas d'effet direct sur la santé, néanmoins une surveillance particulière doit être accordée à la surveillance de la corrosion des réseaux. En application des articles R.1321-27 et R.1321-30 la Personne Responsable de la distribution d'eau doit prendre des mesures correctives necessaires et elle doit informer l'ARS (DD83) de l'application des mesures prises. Eau incrustante.”
How high are PFAS levels in Trans-en-Provence's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 11 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 11 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Trans-en-Provence also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 5 ng/L. That is 1.25 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
Are PFAS levels rising in Trans-en-Provence's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (1 since 17 January 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Trans-en-Provence?
The water hardness in Trans-en-Provence is 73.3 °f (hard). 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 Trans-en-Provence, so in principle the same water.
