In addition to its well-known association with cancer, AFFF exposure has been linked to immune system disorders. PFAS, the dangerous chemicals found in AFFF, can disrupt normal immune function, making the body less effective at fighting off infections and leading to increased susceptibility to illnesses.

Individuals exposed to AFFF over long periods, such as firefighters, military personnel, and airport workers, may develop immune system dysfunction, leading to chronic health issues. These effects often go unnoticed for years, only becoming apparent when individuals suffer from frequent illnesses, prolonged recovery times, or the development of autoimmune disorders.

Immune System Risks of AFFF Exposure:

  • PFAS chemicals are known to suppress the immune system, leading to weakened responses to infections.
  • Individuals exposed to AFFF may develop autoimmune disorders or experience slower recovery from illnesses.
  • Long-term exposure can compromise the body’s ability to fight cancer, increasing the risk of disease progression.

These health risks are compounded by the fact that immune system disorders may not immediately present clear symptoms, making it difficult to link the condition to AFFF exposure without medical and legal intervention. Victims of immune system damage due to AFFF exposure are now filing lawsuits to seek compensation for the health impacts they are experiencing.
