The U.S. military has relied on AFFF for decades to combat fuel fires, often using the foam in training exercises on military bases. However, this widespread use of AFFF has exposed thousands of military personnel to harmful PFAS chemicals, leading to an increasing number of health issues within the military community.

Key Exposure Areas:

Military bases use AFFF for both emergency fire suppression and regular training.
Servicemen and women face direct exposure to AFFF through handling and usage.
Military personnel stationed near bases with PFAS contamination may also be exposed through groundwater.

Many veterans have developed serious health conditions, including cancers, as a result of prolonged exposure to AFFF. These individuals are now filing lawsuits to seek compensation for their medical treatments and to hold AFFF manufacturers accountable for failing to warn about the risks of PFAS exposure.

Beyond the direct exposure of military personnel, communities near military bases are also at risk, as PFAS chemicals leach into groundwater and nearby water supplies. This widespread contamination has led to public health crises in several areas, with families affected by both the physical and financial toll of dealing with chronic illnesses.

In many cases, veterans have faced delays in diagnosis and treatment, as the connection between their health problems and AFFF exposure was not immediately clear. Legal action is essential for securing the resources necessary for long-term medical care and compensation for veterans and their families.
