    AFFF: Spread Of Toxic Contaminants

    There are different ways in which one can extinguish fire, one of which is Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), mainly used in facilities like airports, military bases, and fuel stations. It has been found that AFFF poses serious health threats due to the presence of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in its composition. Evidence suggests that the use of AFFF has even contributed to chronic and fatal diseases like cancer. Due to its carcinogenic effects, the victims have come together to file a lawsuit against the manufacturers of this substance.

    The AFFF Lawsuit

    There are numerous lawsuits filed claiming that the use of firefighting foam has brought them in contact with harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have later contributed to the development of cancer.

    There is an ongoing trial being conducted in the city of Stuart, which claims that the city’s water has been contaminated with the firefighting foam’s PFAS composition. A huge sum of money shall be paid by the manufacturers of the firefighting foam if the claimants are proved right. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Standards has confirmed the presence of PFAS in the firefighting foam.

    In an effort to better understand the connection between firefighters and cancer, the U.S. centres for Disease Control and Prevention started the National Firefighter Registry. The number of lawsuits filed by plaintiffs against PFAS is constantly witnessing a rise.

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a firefighting foam commonly used to suppress fires involving flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, and jet fuel. It’s widely used at airports, military facilities, and industrial sites.

    PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals used in products like AFFF due to their resistance to water, oil, and heat. However, they’ve been linked to serious health risks, including cancer and immune system problems.

    Long-term exposure to PFAS found in AFFF can lead to serious health conditions such as various cancers (including kidney, liver, testicular, and breast), liver damage, hormonal imbalances, immune system issues, and developmental disorders.

    Those who regularly handle or are around AFFF—like firefighters, military personnel, industrial workers, and airport staff—face the greatest risk. People living near sites where AFFF has been used may also be exposed.

    Health issues tied to PFAS exposure include:
    • Kidney, liver, breast, and testicular cancer
    • Liver function damage
    • Immune system disruption
    • Thyroid disorders
    • Developmental and fertility issues
    • Elevated cholesterol levels
