AFFF has been directly linked to multiple types of cancer due to the presence of PFAS chemicals. These "forever chemicals" are extremely difficult to remove from the environment and human body, leading to cumulative exposure risks that increase the likelihood of cancer over time.

Common Cancers Linked to AFFF:

Kidney cancer
Bladder cancer
Testicular cancer
Prostate cancer

Firefighters and other first responders who work closely with AFFF during training exercises or firefighting operations face significant exposure to PFAS. Similarly, military personnel and airport workers who handle or are near AFFF application sites are at elevated risk of developing these cancers.

The latency period for cancer caused by PFAS can be long, making it difficult for victims to initially link their condition to AFFF exposure. However, studies now confirm a strong correlation between long-term AFFF exposure and increased cancer rates.

Symptoms to Watch For:

Persistent fatigue or unexplained weight loss
Blood in urine or frequent abdominal pain
Higher susceptibility to infections

As awareness of AFFF’s health risks increases, more victims are coming forward to file lawsuits. These claims seek to hold AFFF manufacturers accountable for their failure to adequately warn about the health risks, as well as to secure compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
