Toxic Exposure Through AFFF
Toxic Exposure Through AFFF
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a highly effective firefighting foam, commonly used in airports, military bases, and other facilities for controlling fires involving petroleum or fuel. However, AFFF contains high levels of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), chemicals that have raised significant health concerns. PFAS are now linked to various serious health issues, including cancer. Prolonged exposure to these substances is being scrutinized for its potential carcinogenic effects, with many individuals exposed to these chemicals now seeking justice through legal action.

WHY WE’RE FIGHTING
What is the Purpose of this Lawsuit?
The City of Stuart v. 3M Co., et al., an ongoing trial, claims that the city’s water supply is contaminated with PFAS due to firefighting foam products. A huge settlement would take place if the claimants were proved right. Meanwhile, a study conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) further confirms the presence of PFAS in firefighting foam.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have started the National Firefighter Registry (NFR) to better understand the relationship between cancer and firefighters. The number of lawsuits filed is expected to increase.
