The Link Between Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Liver Cancer for Firefighters and Soldiers
Studies in humans suggest that overexposure to chemicals such as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) including perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) can be harmful–the liver is the primary target organ.
Liver cancer has recently been linked to exposure to PFAS currently present on more than 700 military sites throughout the country.
Exposure to AFFF PFAS substances can increase the risk of a type of liver cancer called angiosarcoma.
The National Cancer Institute reveals that: “Higher circulating levels of PFASs, especially PFOA and PFOS that showed an increased risk of liver cancer in experimental studies, are associated with higher risk of developing liver cancer.”
Moreover, recent studies suggest that babies born to mothers who were exposed to AFFF and PFAS during pregnancy may have a significantly increased risk of suffering liver damage in childhood.
