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.
