More about this result

No PFAS result is published for Pöytyä 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 18 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Pöytyä safe to drink?

All the values shown here (18 August 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 Pöytyä's drinking water?

No PFAS results have been published for Pöytyä 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 Pöytyä?

The water hardness in Pöytyä is 1.3 mmol/L (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
