afff linked to cancer
- 897 documented spills
- Thousands of claimants affected
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is primarily used in fires containing liquid flammables. The foam creates a blanket that cuts off the fuel from the oxygen it needs to burn, smothering the fire. Firefighters and navy personnel, and airport personnel are constantly exposed to this foam for training and emergencies.
Numerous types of cancer have been linked to exposure to firefighting foam that contains PFAS and this foam has led to contamination in several regions of the country. Lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers alleging that these companies sold AFFF despite knowing that it was hazardous to humans and the environment.
Biden’s Plans for Firefighter Safety
Biden Headlines the 2023 International Association of Fire Fighters Legislative Conference
President Biden’s proposed Firefighter Protection Act aims to provide critical resources and support to firefighters across the United States, with a focus on their health, safety, and training. The Act seeks to support all firefighters, including career and volunteer firefighters and was created in recognition of the unique risks and challenges faced by those who risk their lives to protect our communities.
Justice for firefighters!
Firefighters are already putting their lives at risk daily to protect our communities. Why are we letting them face even more harm from the equipment they are required to use? PFAs are extremely toxic and causing irreversible damage to not only our environments, but our bodies as well.

What to know about the Camp Lejeune lawsuit
A Bill is moving its way through Congress as part of the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on March 4, 2022.
The Act will allow people who worked, lived, or were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune to file a claim in federal court.If you or a loved one was stationed at Camp Lejeune submit a form to see if you qualify.
why should I care about the AFFF lawsuit?
Thousands of individuals that worked in the navy, in airports, and as firefighters were required to be in contact with AFFF for their jobs. What these people didn’t know is that they were potentially harming their lives every day on the job. Many developed cancer later in life and are suffering the consequences of prolonged exposure to AFFF.
Currently, the Navy and other organizations are shifting away from chemicals that contain PFAs, but that doesn’t help those who were already exposed to the toxic foam and are facing lasting conditions to this day. If you or a loved one was affected by toxic AFFF, you may qualify for compensation.
