AFFFs Linked to Increased Cancer Risk

When military, civilian, or aviation firefighters experience long-term exposure to AFFFs, the persistent chemicals in these products can accumulate in their bodies, raising their risk of developing cancer.

Types of cancer linked to long-term exposure to these chemicals include:

Bladder cancer
Prostate cancer
Breast cancer
Renal or kidney cancer
Leukemia
Testicular cancer
Liver cancer
Thyroid disease
Lymphoma
Ulcerative colitis
Multiple myeloma
Uterine or endometrial cancer
Pancreatic cancer

Fire Fighting Foam AFFF Exposure

Firefighting foam, widely known as Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), has been a critical tool in our firefighting arsenal for decades, vital in combating deadly liquid fires and saving countless lives.

Multiple scientific studies have connected AFFF to cancer and other serious health issues. Due to its harmful effects on firefighters, the DoD was required to halt AFFF purchases. Recently, a $10.3 billion settlement was announced between AFFF manufacturer 3M and public water providers.

Science Backed PFAS Research

AFFF (firefighting foam) has been used for decades to extinguish petroleum-based fires and contains PFAS (poly-fluoroalkyl substances). PFAS are heat-resistant chemicals effective against flammable liquids, but they do not biodegrade and can accumulate in the body, posing long-term health risks. Their persistence, which makes them effective, also makes them "forever chemicals" linked to cancer and other health issues.

PFAS have long been known to be environmental contaminants, with AFFF potentially contaminating drinking water. Studies by the EPA, IARC, ACS, and CDC have linked PFAS exposure to increased risks of kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer.

Take Action!

Over the years, many companies have produced firefighting foam with harmful PFAS, including major manufacturers 3M and DuPont. By the mid-1970s, 3M and others knew PFAS were environmentally toxic, and by the early 1990s, they were aware of potential human health risks, including cancer.

Lawsuits are being filed nationwide against these manufacturers, with hundreds already consolidated into a federal MDL class action in South Carolina. The timeline for a settlement is uncertain, but settlements are expected within 12-24 months. Besides individual cancer victims, states like North Carolina have also sued companies for groundwater contamination caused by toxic chemicals in firefighting foam.
