The long-term health effects of AFFF exposure are still being uncovered, but it is clear that individuals exposed to PFAS through firefighting foam face serious risks. Victims of AFFF exposure often suffer from chronic illnesses, including cancer, immune system disorders, and respiratory problems, which require long-term medical care and significant financial resources.

For many victims, the full extent of their health issues may not be realized until years after their initial exposure, making it difficult to immediately link their illnesses to AFFF. This delayed onset of symptoms, combined with the persistence of PFAS chemicals in the body, means that the long-term effects of exposure can continue to impact individuals for decades.

Long-Term Health Risks of AFFF Exposure:

  • Cancer, respiratory issues, and immune system disorders are common long-term effects.
  • Chronic health conditions often require extensive medical treatments, including surgeries and therapies.
  • The financial burden of long-term care can be overwhelming for victims and their families.

As more victims come forward, legal action continues to grow against AFFF manufacturers. These lawsuits aim to secure compensation for the victims' long-term medical care, lost income, and emotional suffering caused by their exposure to PFAS. The battle for justice is ongoing, and victims are determined to hold manufacturers accountable for the harm they have caused.
