AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) Claim

The health risks of AFFF exposure

Overview of AFFF Exposure:

With each use of AFFF, tremendous amounts of PFAS are released into the environment, and inevitably, firefighters are exposed to the chemicals even if they wear protective gear. To make matters worse, PFAS are also present in firefighting protective gear, and as it wears out, these harmful substances can escape, posing yet another serious health threat to firefighters.

The following are the health conditions and diseases military and civilian firefighters are at high risk of developing as a consequence of using AFFF regularly:
Kidney cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid disease
Ulcerative colitis
Bladder cancer
Leukemia
Multiple myeloma
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Male breast cancer
Liver cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Prostate cancer
Thyroid cancer

The firefighters who are most likely to develop a disease as a result of AFFF exposure are those who worked in:

Firefighting training areas
Aircraft crash sites
Military airport hangars
Commercial airports
