Drinking water quality in Val d'Anast
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0011 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (28 January 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0011 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 Val d'Anast safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (27 May 2026) checked the tap water in Val d'Anast and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Val d'Anast's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0011 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 Val d'Anast 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 0.0011 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Val d'Anast?
The water hardness in Val d'Anast is 10.3 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
