Drinking water quality in Sinnamary
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,30 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (26 May 2026)
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 Sinnamary safe to drink?
The latest official test failed at least one quality requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Sinnamary's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,30 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 Sinnamary 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 Sinnamary?
The water hardness in Sinnamary is 5.3 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
