Passes the EU legal limit and below the health limit

PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
<0,100 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,100 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (12 March 2025)

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.

6 PFAS (see each substance)
Acide perfluoro undecanoïque (PFUnA) <0,001 µg/L
Acide sulfonique de perfluorooctane (PFOS) <0,001 µg/L
Acide perfluoro tridecane sulfonique (PFTrDS) <0,005 µg/L
Acide perfluoro-nonanoïque (PFNA) <0,001 µg/L
Acide perfluorononane sulfonique (PFNS) <0,002 µg/L
Acide perfluoro undecane sulfonique (PFUnDS) <0,002 µg/L

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Vinay safe to drink?

Yes. The latest official test (17 June 2026) checked the tap water in Vinay and it passed every requirement.

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

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,100 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 Vinay 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 Vinay?

The water hardness in Vinay is 0 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
