PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
0.0228 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0228 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 23 % of the limit. (5 February 2026)

Health limit (used in Sweden)
0.0067 µg/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · Limit: 0.004 µg/L 1.7×

The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0067 µg/L. That is 1.7 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.
