PFAS in drinking water

PFAS-4 is not published for this supply area

More about this result

No PFAS result is published for Halsua in the data retrieved on 28 September 2026 (Ruokavirasto (VATI) / Suomen ympäristökeskus Syke, Juomavesidirektiivi-rajapinta). PFAS testing of drinking water has been mandatory across the EU since January 2026. The latest published check dates from 8 June 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.

PFAS-20 monitoring is mandatory since 12 January 2026; 158 of 287 municipalities have a published result so far.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Halsua safe to drink?

All the values shown here (8 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. 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 Halsua's drinking water?

No PFAS results have been published for Halsua 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 Finland?

Finland applies decree STM 1352/2015 of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health as amended by 2/2023: "PFAS-aineiden summa" (sum of 20 PFAS) at most 0.10 µg/l, that is 100 ng/L, applied from 12 January 2026. There is no national PFAS-4 limit; Sweden applies 4 ng/L. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark is stricter than both.

How hard is the water in Halsua?

The water hardness in Halsua is 0.4 mmol/L (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?

All values come from official publications: Ruokavirasto (VATI) / Suomen ympäristökeskus Syke, Juomavesidirektiivi-rajapinta. Retrieved on 28 September 2026.
