PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
<SEUIL µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (20 April 2026)

Health limit (used in Sweden)
0 µg/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · Limit: 0.004 µg/L below health limit

The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Hénon safe to drink?

Yes. The latest official test (25 June 2026) checked the tap water in Hénon and it passed every requirement.

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

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Hénon 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 µg/L stays below.

How hard is the water in Hénon?

The water hardness in Hénon is 13 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
