New European Rules for Monitoring PFAS in Drinking Water ! Stay informed with InfoCons Consumer Protection ! Safe Products , Confident Consumers !
Drinking water quality is a fundamental element of public health, and its protection has become a strategic priority at European Union level. In the context of growing concerns about chemical pollution and the long-term impact of persistent substances on human health and the environment, the European Union has taken an important step by introducing new rules on monitoring per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS or “forever chemicals”, in drinking water.
The new provisions, which entered into application on 12 January, mark the first time a systematic and mandatory EU-wide monitoring system for PFAS in drinking water has been implemented. These measures respond to increasing scientific evidence regarding the persistence of PFAS in the environment and their potential adverse effects on human health.
Through this legislative update, the European Union aims not only to improve drinking water safety, but also to strengthen prevention, transparency, accountability and rapid response when limit values are exceeded, reinforcing the fundamental right of citizens to safe drinking water.
