Drinking water quality in Saint-Martin-en-Haut
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0679 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 68 % of the limit. (8 July 2022)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0151 µg/L. That is 3.8 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.
