On this page, we’ll discuss scientific studies on AFFF and Cancer, the types and consequences of AFFF exposure, how victims of AFFF and PFAS exposure can file an AFFF Lawsuit, and much more.
Exposure to PFAS-containing aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) has been linked to an increased risk to develop cancer.
There is a growing body of scientific and medical evidence documenting how AFFF and PFAS exposure harms the human body.
Although more research is developing in this field, what is clear is that the dangerous chemicals in AFFF firefighting foam can bioaccumulate in the human body and may be linked to serious health conditions, including several types of cancer.
AFFF Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of individuals exposed to toxic firefighting foam.
The AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL has centralized all pending AFFF Lawsuits into a singular district court.

Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) firefighting foam is a type of fire extinguishing agent designed to fight fires started by class B materials.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, class B fires are caused by combustible liquids like gasoline, alcohol, and petroleum.
AFFF foam works by forming a film-like covering atop flammable liquid fires.
The film thickens upon contact and creates a barrier between the air and the fire, causing flames to die out.
As a result, fires caused by highly flammable liquids are extinguished without the chance of rekindling.
As an effective means to fight flammable liquid and jet fuel fires, AFFF firefighting foam has been in wide use, particularly among military personnel.
AFFF firefighting foam has been the foam of choice for extinguishing fires in places like military facilities, chemical plants, and even aircraft carriers.
However, various agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Fire Protection Association have found evidence suggesting that AFFF exposure can lead to cancer.
Class B AFFF firefighting foam contains PFAS chemicals.
Also known as “forever chemicals”, PFAS are extremely durable and resilient chemicals that have been known to persist in the human body and environment.
Exposure to PFAS can be extremely harmful.
Individuals exposed to PFAS may be at an increased risk of developing cancer, including prostate cancer and kidney cancer.
The U.S. Navy, in cooperation with 3M, spearheaded the development and use of AFFF firefighting foam in the 1960s.
Before the 60s, the main agents for fire extinguishers were either water or foam.
Unfortunately, these were incapable of extinguishing specific fires due to their surface tension and short shelf lives.
The U.S. Navy and 3M looked into other chemicals that can both lower the surface tension of firefighting foams and increase their shelf lives.
This led to the incorporation of PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam.
The U.S. Navy needed a low-surface-tension fire extinguishing agent to put out flammable liquid fires.
Before the discovery of AFFF foam, extinguishing fires from flammable substances like fuel and tar required massive amounts of foam and water.
However, PFAS chemicals in AFFF foam enabled military firefighters to cover flames with a translucent foam that prevents fires from consuming oxygen.
The lack of oxygen almost instantaneously extinguishes flames.
AFFF firefighting foam and its PFAS chemicals pose environmental and human health risks.
Recognizing this, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a phase-out of all AFFF firefighting foam, particularly ones containing PFAS chemicals.
According to the EPA, the phase-out is set to take commence by October 1, 2023.
Following the phase-out, the EPA directed the U.S. Military to switch from AFFF firefighting foam to fluorine free foam solutions.
The transition from PFAS-containing foams to less toxic firefighting foam is taking place.
According to a report by the National Fire Protection Association, multiple states are doing away with AFFF firefighting foam products.
The mandate to eliminate AFFF firefighting foam usage in fire departments also comes with recommendations on occupational safety and personal protective equipment.
AFFF firefighting foam’s effects on human health have been the subject of meticulous study.
As more research findings on AFFF exposure and cancer risk surface, the effects of the toxic substances in AFFF foam on health become increasingly clear.
More studies are being conducted on the subject.
These include the following studies and reports.
Conducted by the National Cancer Institute, this study examines the association between PFAS exposure and cancer risk.
In this study, the researchers collected epidemiologic data from multiple medical databases.
The researchers selected their participants based on their history of PFAS exposure and the kinds of cancers they developed.
The researchers discovered the following based on their review of medical records:
These findings are indicative of the increased risk of cancer that occurs from PFAS exposure.
Published in Environmental Health Perspectives, this study delved deeper into the relationships between elevated serum PFAS levels and testicular cancer.
To determine serum PFAS levels, researchers gathered multiple blood samples from Air Force servicemen diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Elevated PFAS levels only showed up during the second and succeeding blood samples.
The researchers also looked into the exposure histories of these servicemen.
Based on the findings, service-related variables such as firefighting roles and assignments to bases with elevated PFAS water levels were found to correlate with elevated PFAS concentrations.
These findings highlight the potential risk factor that PFAS exposure may pose for the development of testicular cancer in Air Force servicemen.
Published in March 2023, this study discusses the health risks associated with PFAS exposure, particularly cancer.
Based on the study, elevated PFAS levels in the blood are indicators of cancer risk, particularly in the most exposed population — firefighters.
The researchers also found that firefighters with elevated serum PFAS levels have a higher risk of developing the following cancers:
The study also explained how PFAS chemicals accumulate in the body to reach toxic levels.
According to the study, PFAS chemicals are persistent substances that can stay in the body for a long time.
This means that firefighters can experience the effects of PFAS exposure throughout their careers.
Published in 2021, this study was an epidemiological meta-analysis examining various studies looking into PFAS and cancer risk.
As with the other studies mentioned, an overwhelming number of studies suggest a strong correlation between exposure to PFAS chemicals and developing cancer.
Based on the data, the researchers also found testicular and kidney cancer to be the most commonly found cancer diagnosis in the studies.
Published in 2020, this study aims to assess PFAS toxicity knowledge and suggest ways to understand their health effects in a more comprehensive manner.
Currently, ample data is available on only a few PFAS, like perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonate.
The limited information we have on various PFAS substances necessitates further research into other varieties.
The study points out that epidemiological research links specific PFAS exposure to various health issues, including immune problems, thyroid dysfunction, liver disease, metabolic disruptions, kidney damage, reproductive issues, and cancer, findings supported by animal studies.
Due to the health issues arising from exposure to PFAS chemicals, the researchers called for more caution and protection when handling substances containing these toxic chemicals.
The AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits are a series of product liability and personal injury claims against companies associated with AFFF production.
AFFF firefighting foams utilized harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their production.
Due to the PFAS content of these firefighting foams, long term exposure to AFFF has been linked to serious health problems such as cancer and thyroid issues.
The plaintiffs in the AFFF cancer lawsuit allege that the companies were aware of PFAS risks but failed to adequately warn of these risks.
The lawsuits seek to hold several AFFF manufacturers accountable for various AFFF firefighting foam-linked illnesses like immune system issues and cancer.
The AFFF firefighter foam lawsuit is ongoing and has been consolidated into the AFFF multidistrict litigation in the U.S. District Court: District of South Carolina.
If you or a loved one were exposed to AFFF and subsequently developed cancer or other related health effects, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Lawsuit.

Since the 1960s, AFFF foam has been the fire extinguishing agent of choice to fight flammable liquid fires in military installations, airports, and aircraft carriers.
Due to the health risks AFFF firefighting foam poses to the environment and human health, the Environmental Protection Agency has mandated a phase-out of foams containing PFAS chemicals.
The EPA and the NFPA also urged the use of PFAS-free foams and personal protective gear.
Based on various scientific literature, there’s a strong correlation between AFFF exposure and cancer.
According to various studies, long term exposure to PFAS in AFFF can increase a person’s risk of developing cancer and other illnesses.
There has not yet been a firefighting foam lawsuit settlement reached.
