The Health Dangers of AFFF and PFAS
AFFF has long been used to suppress high-intensity fires involving jet fuel or other flammable liquids. Its effectiveness is due in part to its chemical makeup, which includes per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These synthetic chemicals are highly resistant to breakdown, allowing them to accumulate in the body and environment over time.
Studies by the EPA and other organizations have linked long-term PFAS exposure to:
- Kidney and testicular cancers
- Liver damage
- Pancreatic cancer
- Thyroid disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Reproductive and immune system harm
People who have worked in fire departments, military bases, or industrial facilities—especially in roles involving regular use of AFFF—are at heightened risk.
