The Link Between Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for Firefighters and Soldiers
Individuals exposed to high levels of PFAS from AFFF showed twice the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma compared to those with the lowest exposure.
Of particular concern, is the multifaceted exposure firefighters and personnel connected to U.S. military or civilian airports have to toxins directly from:
- Perfluorinated chemicals used in firefighting foam
- The gear treated with PFAS for water resistance
- The water from sources located on and near military bases polluted with chemicals from the foam
According to the complaint, which alleges that the chemicals “presented an unreasonable risk to human health and are inherently dangerous,” the descriptive labels and data sheets for the AFFF containing PFAS utilized at the Stafford Fire Department did not reasonably nor adequately describe the hazards of AFFF containing PFAS.
