PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a family of human-made chemicals that are used in a variety of industries and products due to their unique properties, such as resistance to heat, water, oil, and stains.
PFAS are toxic chemicals that do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time, potentially leading to adverse health effects like cancer, birth defects, and more.
People who may have been regularly exposed to firefighting foam are typically people whose work duties include using firefighting foam products.
People who are most likely to suffer from occupational exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam include:
Exposure to PFAS chemicals may be linked to:

Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) is a type of firefighting foam that is used in various industries and applications, including aviation, military, and petrochemical. AFFF creates a film barrier between the fuel and the oxygen, extinguishing dangerous fires.
The use of AFFF dates back to the 1960s, developed by several companies, including 3M, Chemguard, and Tyco Fire Products. These companies have been among the leading manufacturers of AFFF and have supplied it to various industries and countries around the world.
Certain types of firefighting foam contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of man-made chemicals that are highly resistant to degradation and are known to be toxic to human health and the environment. The presence of PFAS in AFFF has raised concerns about the dangers of direct exposure to firefighting foam, as well as their potential to contaminate drinking water and harm wildlife.
Several research studies have found links between PFAS exposure and cancer, specifically pancreatic cancer.
Published in January 2022 by researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine, “Exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid leads to promotion of pancreatic cancer” found that PFAS exposure in rats resulted in a shocking increased risk for pancreatic cancer.
More research must be conducted on the link between PFAS exposure and pancreatic cancer, but the current findings have indicated a significantly elevated risk of pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
Chemical manufacturers and the US Navy, who first approved AFFF firefighting foam for use, knew about its toxic effects for decades.
Urged by the Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Defense finally submitted an official warning stating that the dangerous chemicals in AFFF present an increased risk for serious health problems and environmental contamination.
In a number of research studies, PFAS have been linked to an increased risk for cancer and other serious health problems. With the number of chemicals used in firefighting foam, the health impacts of them are widespread.
The health of airport firefighters, military firefighters, chemical plant workers, and workers who transport and manufacture firefighting foam is especially at risk.
Studies on the links between AFFF Exposure and Health Problems include the following:
AFFF firefighting foam has been found to have a devastating impact on the environment. AFFF is the number one contributor to PFAS contaminated drinking water.
One of the challenges in removing PFAS from the environment is that they are highly soluble in water and easily spread, contaminating groundwater, drinking water, and other natural areas. PFAS do not degrade naturally and persist in the environment for a long time, building up over time and increasing the risk of exposure to these harmful chemicals for hundreds or even thousands of years.
AFFF Lawsuits have been filed by state and city governments, as well as municipal water authorities over environmental contamination. These agencies have joined the litigation against AFFF Manufacturers:
