PFPeA in Connecticut Drinking Water
By Alexander Snyder, Founder & Water Quality Data Lead
The health-protective reference published by EWG for PFPeA is 1 ppb.
PFPeA is listed in preserved public-system records associated with 7 Connecticut ZIP codes. This page summarizes record coverage and governed reference values. It does not establish that pfpea is present at a property, identify its serving utility, or determine exposure, safety, or health risk.
What Is PFPeA?
PFPeA is a short-chain PFAS detected in drinking-water monitoring. Its current EWG health guideline applies an EPA toxicity value for the related PFHxA, so that value is a surrogate and not compound-specific PFPeA toxicity evidence.

Who May Need Closer Review?
The governed EWG release classifies the following household groups as priorities for pfpea context. This classification does not lower or multiply the cited reference and does not determine anyone's exposure.
Confirm the serving utility and use a certified property sample before making a health, exposure, or treatment decision.
Reading this inside ChatGPT or Claude?
This page can explain the general science about PFPeA records associated with a ZIP, but it cannot identify what is at a specific tap or property. You can get ZIP-level context two ways:
- Inside the chat: ask your assistant to “check my tap water with CheckYourTap”. Our connector returns available public-system or regional monitoring records associated with your ZIP. It does not identify your serving utility or test your tap, well, or property. The current connector is read-only and does not email reports or submit contact information.
- On the web: open CheckYourTap.com and enter your ZIP code for a free ZIP-level report.
Need to confirm PFPeA at a property?
A certified sample from the relevant tap or well can establish whether pfpea is present before any health, filtration, or treatment decision.
CheckYourTap is an independent water-quality service, not your town or utility. We connect you with a vetted local partner. Your online report is free. Testing and treatment are paid services, and there's no cost to talk.
