Tulsa Air National Guard Base PFAS Lawsuit [2025 Update]

Confirmed PFAS Contamination Detected at Tulsa ANGB/Tulsa International Airport

Significant PFAS contamination has been confirmed at Tulsa Air National Guard Base (ANGB), located at Tulsa International Airport.

Published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), PFAS chemicals were detected at the following levels in groundwater at Tulsa Air National Guard Base (located at Tulsa International Airport) in 2018:

• PFBS: 7,600 ppt
• PFHpA: 9,600 ppt
• PFHxS: 69,000 ppt
• PFNA: 640 ppt
• PFOA: 4,000 ppt
• PFOS: 44,000 ppt
• PFOS + PFOA (combined): 47,400 ppt

These levels far exceed the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2024 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for PFOS and PFOA in drinking water, which is set at 4 ppt.

These findings highlight serious health risks for those living and working on or near the base, particularly given PFAS chemicals’ long-lasting presence in water supplies and the human body.

The contamination poses not only an environmental concern but also a growing public health crisis for service members, military personnel, and surrounding communities exposed to these toxic substances.

Sources of PFAS Exposure at Tulsa ANGB

The primary source of PFAS contamination at Tulsa Air National Guard Base stems from the military’s use of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), a type of firefighting foam used for decades to suppress jet fuel fires during training exercises and emergency responses.

As AFFF contains polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), routine use of this foam led to the chemicals seeping into the ground, eventually infiltrating on-base drinking water systems and groundwater supplies.

Other contributing factors include runoff from training areas, improper storage and disposal of PFAS-containing products, and leakage from equipment used during firefighting drills.

Because PFAS chemicals are highly resistant to environmental breakdown, they persist as forever chemicals in the soil and groundwater.

This allows them to migrate off base, contaminating surrounding areas, including private drinking water wells and municipal water systems.

The environmental impact continues to pose serious health risks to both military and civilian populations.

Who May Be Exposed to PFAS at Tulsa ANGB

A wide range of individuals may have been exposed to PFAS at or near Tulsa Air National Guard Base.

Military service members, civilian workers, and contractors stationed at or employed by the base during the use of firefighting foam are among the most at risk.

Families living in base housing or using on-base drinking water also face an increased risk of PFAS exposure, particularly through long-term consumption of contaminated drinking water.

Additionally, residents in surrounding communities and those relying on private drinking water wells near Tulsa ANGB may have unknowingly been exposed to PFAS-contaminated water.

Prolonged exposure to these hazardous substances has been linked to serious health consequences, including thyroid disease, certain cancers such as kidney and testicular cancer, liver damage, and immune system dysfunction.

With confirmed PFAS contamination levels far exceeding EPA safety standards, individuals with known exposure may want to explore their legal options and pursue medical monitoring.

Do You Qualify for the Tulsa Air National Guard Base PFAS Lawsuit

Individuals who lived, worked, or were stationed at Tulsa Air National Guard Base (ANGB) or in surrounding communities may qualify to participate in a PFAS water contamination lawsuit.

Potential claimants include military service members, civilian personnel, contractors, and family members who may have been exposed to PFAS chemicals through contaminated drinking water, firefighting foam, or soil at or near the military installation.

Those who used private drinking water wells, on-base drinking water systems, or were otherwise exposed to PFAS contaminated water may be eligible to pursue legal action.

Eligibility may be further supported by a diagnosis of PFAS-related health problems such as thyroid disease, liver damage, testicular or kidney cancer, developmental delays, or other serious health consequences linked to PFAS exposure.

The use of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and improper PFAS disposal at military sites like Tulsa ANGB has led to confirmed PFAS contamination and long-term environmental and public health risks.

Individuals affected may be able to seek compensation through a lawsuit based on the extent of their exposure and related harm.

Gathering Evidence for a PFAS Lawsuit

To build a strong PFAS water contamination claim, it’s crucial to gather evidence showing direct or indirect exposure to PFAS chemicals at or near Tulsa ANGB.

Important documents include military service records, proof of residence or employment on or near the base, water quality reports, and medical records indicating PFAS-related health issues.

Blood tests confirming elevated PFAS levels and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing data that show unsafe PFAS concentrations in drinking water or private wells can further strengthen your case.

Other key evidence may include documentation of firefighting foam use, such as military training schedules, incident reports, or environmental working group findings that link Tulsa ANGB to significant PFAS pollution.

If you or a loved one has been exposed to forever chemicals at this or other military installations, securing legal representation can help ensure all relevant evidence is properly collected and evaluated for a potential lawsuit.
