Drinking water quality in Guerlédan
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0012 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (5 March 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0012 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
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 Guerlédan safe to drink?
All the values shown here (17 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
How high are PFAS levels in Guerlédan's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0012 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Guerlédan also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0.0012 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Guerlédan?
The water hardness in Guerlédan is 13 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
