Individuals Exposed To Contaminated Water With Unsafe Levels Of PFAS May Be Eligible For Compensation & Justice
The implications of PFAS exposure are alarming as they do not naturally break down in the environment and can accumulate in human blood and organs. According to the updated assessment, PFAS may be:
- Contaminating the areas surrounding more than 700 military installations across the United States;
- Posing severe health and environmental concerns
- Affecting the general public, service members, and their families.
PFAS Contamination Near 700+ U.S. Military Bases
What You Need to Know About Toxic Chemical Exposure in Your Community
PFAS chemicals—often called “forever chemicals”—have been used for decades in firefighting foam, industrial processes, and military applications.
The areas surrounding more than 700 U.S. military installations are likely contaminated.
If you live near one of these bases, you or your loved ones may already be exposed.
What Are PFAS and Why Are They Dangerous?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals that don’t break down in the environment.
They can build up in the blood, drinking water, and soil, causing long-term health risks.
According to the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), PFAS exposure has been linked to:
- Increased risk of some cancers
- Hormonal disruptions
- Decreased vaccine response in children
- Liver and kidney problems
- Increased cholesterol levels

A Closer Look: PFAS at U.S. Military Bases
The Department of Defense has confirmed PFAS contamination in groundwater at hundreds of installations nationwide.
These toxic chemicals came primarily from aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), a firefighting product used in training exercises and emergency responses.
As of 2023, the Department of Defense identified 710 military sites where PFAS releases occurred. Testing showed PFAS levels in drinking water near many of these locations were hundreds of times above EPA health advisory limits.

Timeline of PFAS Studies, Warnings, and Legal Actions
- 1998 – 3M discloses PFOS (a type of PFAS) toxicity to the EPA.
- 2001 – PFAS contamination was discovered in West Virginia near a DuPont plant.
- 2016 – EPA sets a health advisory level for PFAS at 70 ppt in drinking water.
- 2019 – CDC finds widespread PFAS in blood samples from Americans.
- 2022 – EPA lowers PFAS health advisories to near zero: 0.004 ppt for PFOA, 0.02 ppt for PFOS. EPA Health Advisory Update
- 2023 – Over 700 military bases confirmed with known or suspected PFAS releases.
- April 2024 – EPA finalizes enforceable drinking water limits for 6 PFAS chemicals. EPA PFAS Regulation Rule
Compensation and Ongoing Legal Cases
The U.S. government and PFAS manufacturers like 3M and DuPont have faced multiple lawsuits.
- June 2023: 3M agrees to pay $10.3 billion to settle public water system PFAS claims. EPA Press Release
- Thousands of military families are filing claims for health damages, with class actions forming.
You may be entitled to financial compensation if you lived near one of these contaminated bases.
