Massachussets Towns Reported tests for PFAS6 in last 2 years - Results

To help you put your individual PFAS test result in context, this summary shows well water testing results from towns across Massachusetts. Towns are grouped into three categories based on the levels of PFAS6:

No PFAS6 detected (ND)
PFAS6 detected, but below the state’s MCL (safety limit) at 20 ppt.
PFAS6 levels above the MCL safety limit of 20 ppt.
