For decades, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used by firefighters, military personnel, and emergency responders to extinguish flammable liquid fires. While effective in fire suppression, AFFF contains toxic chemicals—known as PFAS—that have been linked to serious health risks, including various forms of cancer. If you or a loved one in Aiken, SC, has been exposed to firefighting foam and is now facing a health crisis, legal help is available.

The Hidden Dangers of PFAS in AFFF
AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down in the environment or in the human body. Over time, PFAS exposure can lead to significant health complications.
Medical studies and government agencies have identified strong correlations between PFAS exposure and the following illnesses:
- Kidney cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Thyroid disorders
- Liver damage
- Immune system dysfunction
- Ulcerative colitis
- Pancreatic cancer
In many cases, individuals were unknowingly exposed for years—especially firefighters and military personnel who frequently trained or worked with AFFF. Now, those affected are turning to the legal system for justice.
