The long-term health effects of PFAS exposure are still being studied, but what is already known is alarming. PFAS chemicals accumulate in the body over time, and even low levels of exposure can result in serious health problems after years of buildup.

Common Long-Term Health Risks

PFAS exposure has been linked to several long-term health issues, including:

  • Cancer: Prolonged exposure is strongly associated with cancers like kidney and testicular cancer.
  • Liver Disease: Chronic PFAS exposure can lead to liver toxicity and diseases like cirrhosis.
  • Reproductive Harm: PFAS can interfere with fertility and increase the risk of birth defects.

How Long Does PFAS Stay in the Body?

Once ingested or inhaled, PFAS can remain in the human body for years. These chemicals have a long half-life, meaning they do not break down easily, allowing them to accumulate over time. This bioaccumulation increases the risk of developing serious health conditions later in life.

Legal Rights for Affected Individuals

Victims of long-term PFAS exposure can seek compensation for:

  • Medical Costs: Ongoing treatment for conditions linked to PFAS exposure, including cancer and liver disease.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to illness.
  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for the emotional toll of living with a long-term illness.
