Military personnel and their families stationed at military bases have been disproportionately affected by PFAS contamination. Firefighting foam used extensively in military training has caused widespread contamination of drinking water supplies on bases, leading to long-term health risks for service members and their families.

PFAS Exposure on Military Bases

The use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam on military bases has contaminated water supplies and exposed thousands of veterans and their families to harmful chemicals. Exposure often occurred through drinking contaminated water or using it for everyday activities like bathing and cooking.

Health Risks for Veterans and Their Families

Prolonged PFAS exposure on military bases has been linked to numerous health problems, including:

  • Cancer: Increased risk of kidney, testicular, and other cancers.
  • Thyroid Disorders: PFAS can disrupt hormone regulation, leading to thyroid dysfunction.
  • Reproductive Harm: PFAS exposure has been associated with fertility issues and pregnancy complications.

Legal Recourse for Veterans

Veterans and their families affected by PFAS contamination on military bases may be entitled to compensation. Legal claims can provide relief for:

  • Health Care Costs: Covering the cost of treating PFAS-related illnesses.
  • Disability Compensation: For veterans whose exposure has led to long-term health issues.
