PFAS and Forever Chemicals in Water

NEA · July 21, 2026

PFAS ("forever chemicals") are man-made compounds that don't break down and have been detected in many tap and bottled water supplies. They're linked to health concerns and are hard to remove once present.

How they get into your water

PFAS enter through industrial pollution and, in some cases, packaging. Choosing water from a protected spring source and plastic-free packaging reduces exposure risk.

Choosing cleaner water

NEA sources from a protected mountain spring and seals it in aluminum — no plastic. See the best water to drink → · explore canned water.
