More about this result
No PFAS result is published for Kastre vald in the data retrieved on 19 September 2026 (Terviseamet, veeterviseohutuse infosüsteem (VTI) avaandmed, veevargi_veeproovid_2026.xml). PFAS testing of drinking water has been mandatory across the EU since January 2026. The latest published check dates from 5 August 2026.
The four EFSA compounds (PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS) are not reported separately, so the 4 ng/L health benchmark and this site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.
17 of 78 municipalities have itemised PFAS results, all at the laboratory's reporting limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Kastre vald safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 5 August 2026, the tap water in Kastre vald was within every limit tested. “vastab nõuetele” The four EFSA compounds (PFAS-4) are not itemised, so this water cannot be compared with the 0.5 ng/L health benchmark used by pfasnearme.
How high are PFAS levels in Kastre vald's drinking water?
No PFAS results have been published for Kastre vald yet. Testing has been required across the EU since January 2026. We will show the values here as soon as they come out.
Which PFAS limits apply in Estonia?
Estonia transposes the EU Drinking Water Directive in regulation no. 61 of the Minister of Social Affairs (sotsiaalministri määrus nr 61): "PFASide summa" (sum of 20 PFAS) at most 0.10 µg/l, that is 100 ng/L. There is no national PFAS-4 limit; the health reference is EFSA's 4 ng/L. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark is stricter than both.
How hard is the water in Kastre vald?
No hardness value is available for Kastre vald in this source.
