What it calculates

The “PFAS Exposure” calculator computes Sum of 20 PFAS relative to the EU limit (100 ng/L) in % from 3 parameters: pfoa in water (lab test) (ng/L), pfos in water (lab test) (ng/L), sum of the 20 pfas in the eu directive (ng/L).

A handy everyday calculator for daily tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters PFOA in water (lab test) = 3 ng/L, PFOS in water (lab test) = 6 ng/L, Sum of the 20 PFAS in the EU Directive = 45 ng/L the result is 45 % (EU Directive 2020/2184: "Sum of PFAS" (20 substances) 0.10 µg/L = 100 ng/L, "PFAS Total" 0.50 µg/L; applies from 12 January 2026).

How to use

  1. Enter pfoa in water (lab test), pfos in water (lab test) and sum of the 20 pfas in the eu directive — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. Sum of 20 PFAS relative to the EU limit (100 ng/L) (%) is calculated automatically as you type.
