PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
0.036 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.036 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 36 % of the limit. (9 September 2025)

Health limit (used in Sweden)
0.033 µg/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · Limit: 0.004 µg/L 8.3×

The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.033 µg/L. That is 8.3 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. Germany will set a similar limit in 2028.

One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).

Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Coublevie safe to drink?

Yes. The latest official test (4 June 2026) checked the tap water in Coublevie and it passed every requirement.

How high are PFAS levels in Coublevie's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.036 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 36 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Coublevie also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.033 µg/L. That is 8.3 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. The water still passes the current EU limit (0.1 µg/L for the total of 20 PFAS).

How hard is the water in Coublevie?

The water hardness in Coublevie is 24.35 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
