While PFAS contamination is often associated with water and soil, these chemicals can also be present in the air we breathe. Airborne PFAS particles can originate from manufacturing sites, incineration plants, and even household products that release chemicals into the atmosphere. Exposure to PFAS through the air can have significant health consequences, particularly for people living near industrial sites or in homes with PFAS-containing products.

Airborne PFAS: A Hidden Threat

PFAS can become airborne during the manufacturing process or when products containing PFAS are incinerated. Once in the air, these particles can travel long distances and settle in areas far from the original source of contamination. People living near industrial sites or incineration plants are at the greatest risk of exposure.

Health Risks from Airborne PFAS

Inhaling PFAS particles can lead to serious health problems, including:

  • Respiratory Issues: Prolonged exposure to airborne PFAS can cause chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.
  • Cancer Risk: Just like PFAS in water, airborne PFAS particles are linked to cancers such as kidney and testicular cancer.
  • Immune System Damage: Inhalation of PFAS can weaken the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.

Legal Options for Victims of Airborne PFAS Exposure

If you’ve been affected by airborne PFAS, you may be entitled to compensation. Legal claims can help cover:

  • Medical Expenses: Including treatment for respiratory conditions and other health problems caused by PFAS.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to PFAS-related health issues.
