AFFF Cancer Claims
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) has been widely used by firefighters, military personnel, and industrial workers to suppress high-intensity fires. However, studies have revealed that AFFF contains toxic chemicals known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health conditions, including various types of cancer.
Now, individuals who were regularly exposed to AFFF and later developed cancer or other severe health issues are filing lawsuits against the manufacturers of these dangerous products. CompensAide is committed to helping victims hold these companies accountable for their negligence and recover the compensation they deserve.
What Is AFFF?
AFFF is a firefighting foam commonly used to combat fuel-based fires. It has been standard equipment for:
- Firefighters in municipal and airport fire departments.
- Military personnel during training exercises and emergency responses.
- Industrial workers in facilities handling flammable materials.
While effective at extinguishing fires, AFFF’s formulation includes PFAS chemicals, which are highly toxic and linked to severe health consequences.
How AFFF Exposure Happens
PFAS exposure often occurs through:
- Direct skin contact with AFFF during firefighting or training.
- Inhalation of fumes while using AFFF.
- Contaminated water supplies near firefighting training areas or industrial facilities where AFFF was used.
These chemicals remain in the environment for years, creating a widespread public health crisis affecting countless individuals and communities.
