PFAS in Tüßling's tap water: none of the four main PFAS detected

PFAS in drinking water
not precise enough to compare
Some of the four PFAS were too small for the lab to measure. The check cannot say whether this water is above or below our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L.
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.
The PFAS figures come from the sampling point "Wasserwerk Kastl (Kastl, Tüßling)", the one with the highest PFAS-4 value among the 3 waterworks or sampling points serving Tüßling. The others are in the table of all values; the tap often carries a blend of several works.
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.

In Tüßling, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was found in a measurable amount at the latest PFAS check on 1 June 2026. That's below the detection limit, so there's no verdict against our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: not detected, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L).

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Tüßling safe to drink?
All the values shown here (1 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
How high are PFAS levels in Tüßling's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was reported as not detected; the laboratory did not state its reporting limit. The EU limit is 100 ng/L. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Tüßling also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, and the source does not publish detection limits fine enough to compare their total with Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Which PFAS limits apply in Germany?
Germany's Trinkwasserverordnung of 2023 adopts the EU limit of 100 ng/L for the sum of 20 PFAS, binding since 12 January 2026. For the four most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) a limit of 20 ng/L applies from 12 January 2028. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark and the 4 ng/L used as the health reference (Sweden's limit) are stricter than both.
How hard is the water in Tüßling?
No hardness value is available for Tüßling in this source.

Aktuellste amtliche Kontrolluntersuchung des Gesundheitsamts Altötting (Probenahme 06/2026, Datum monatsgenau), analysiert vom LGL. Angaben in ng/l in µg/L umgerechnet. „n.n.“ (nicht nachweisbar) ist als 0 gespeichert, wo das LGL keine Bestimmungsgrenze nennt; genannte Bestimmungsgrenzen stehen als „<“-Wert. Die Behörden kontrollieren die Versorgungen rund um den Chemiepark Gendorf vierteljährlich; die Versorger untersuchen bei Aktivkohle-Aufbereitung monatlich selbst. Für Tüßling liegen 3 Werke bzw. Messstellen vor (Wasserwerk Kastl (Kastl, Tüßling), Trinkwasser Tüßling (Netz), Hochbehälter Mörmoosen (Tüßling)). Die PFAS-Kennzahl der Seite stammt aus „Wasserwerk Kastl (Kastl, Tüßling)“, der Messstelle mit dem höchsten PFAS-4-Wert; die übrigen stehen in der Tabelle. Nächste Aktualisierung: nächste vierteljährliche Kontrolluntersuchung, voraussichtlich 09/2026
