AFFF and Groundwater Contamination: Holding Companies Accountable

Groundwater contamination caused by AFFF is an issue of growing concern, especially in areas near military bases, airports, and industrial firefighting sites. PFAS chemicals used in AFFF are known to persist in the environment for years, and once they enter the groundwater, they can spread rapidly, affecting nearby communities.

Groundwater Contamination Facts:

• PFAS chemicals can seep into drinking water supplies, affecting thousands of people.
• Groundwater contamination is difficult and costly to clean up, leaving communities vulnerable for years.
• Long-term exposure to PFAS-contaminated water is linked to cancer, immune system disorders, and other health issues.

Communities that rely on groundwater for drinking water and agriculture are at significant risk. In some cases, entire towns have had their water supplies contaminated by PFAS from AFFF, leading to public health crises. Legal action is one of the only ways to hold companies accountable for the environmental damage caused by these toxic chemicals.

Moreover, the environmental impact of PFAS contamination extends beyond human health. Wildlife and ecosystems are also affected, as PFAS chemicals accumulate in plants and animals, further contributing to the spread of these dangerous substances.
