The link between aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and testicular cancer for firefighters and soldiers

Firefighters have used AFFF (“firefighting foam”) to suppress high-temperature fires for decades–often those involving jet fuel or other fuel-based accelerants.

AFFF, also known as aqueous film forming foam–or “firefighting foam”--contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals that have been known to  cause a variety of cancers.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known by many scientific studies as potentially cancer-causing– and, a testicular cancer diagnosis risk may be especially heightened.

Research shows there may be significant AFFF and testicular cancer risk, with firefighters, airport personnel and property owners near military bases and airports at heightened risk.

AFFF and testicular cancer in the news

2015
A research study revealed that levels of PFAS were “three times higher” in the blood of southern California firefighters compared to levels in the general population.

2020
A Pennsylvania man filed a lawsuit after he developed testicular cancer from exposure to firefighting aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), after the toxic foam chemicals were used and made their way into his drinking water.
