The limit fell from 90 to 4.

From 1 January 2026, Sweden's limit for four PFAS in drinking water is 4 nanograms per litre (LIVSFS 2022:12). It binds drinking water producers.

What the new limit means

PFOA, PFOS, PFNA and PFHxS are four of the most studied PFAS. Sweden regulates their sum; a wider group of twenty-one substances has a limit of its own.

The limit binds waterworks and other drinking water producers. A household is not required to test, and a limit is not a measurement of what comes out of a tap.

Ask your municipality for its latest results. If your water comes from a private well, testing is your own responsibility.


90ng/l

Sweden, until the end of 2025

4ng/l

Sweden, from 1 January 2026

90 ng/l
Sweden, until the end of 2025. Livsmedelsverket's action level, taken over the sum of eleven PFAS.
4 ng/l
Sweden, from 1 January 2026. LIVSFS 2022:12, taken over the sum of four PFAS — PFOA, PFOS, PFNA and PFHxS.
100 ng/l
EU, from 12 January 2026. Directive (EU) 2020/2184, taken over the sum of twenty PFAS. Drawn here to give the two Swedish values a scale.
The two Swedish values are not taken over the same substances (eleven then, four now), so this compares the limits, not identical measurements. The EU directive also sets 500 ng/l for PFAS total. Every limit here binds drinking water producers. Sources: Livsmedelsverket, PFAS i dricksvatten; Directive (EU) 2020/2184, Annex I Part B; SGU, PFAS gränsvärden och tillståndsklasser.

PFAS sites near you

Journalists and scientists across Europe compiled public records of PFAS measurements, presumed sources and factories into one dataset. Pick a limit to see how each measured site compares with it.

A dot marks a place where PFAS was measured, a known user, or a site presumed to handle PFAS because of its industry. It says nothing about the tap water where you live.
