Understanding the Dangers of PFAS in Firefighting Foam
PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because they resist breakdown in the environment and the human body. As AFFF was used for decades across fire departments, airports, and military bases, PFAS exposure became a serious public health concern.
Scientific studies have shown that prolonged exposure to PFAS can cause:
- Kidney cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Liver damage
- Ulcerative colitis
- Thyroid disease
- Immune system deficiencies
- Reproductive issues
These health risks are particularly high for firefighters, military personnel, airport workers, and those who lived or worked near sites where AFFF was used.
