The use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam on military bases has contaminated water supplies and exposed thousands of veterans and their families to harmful chemicals. Exposure often occurred through drinking contaminated water or using it for everyday activities like bathing and cooking.

Prolonged PFAS exposure on military bases has been linked to numerous health problems, including:
- Cancer: Increased risk of kidney, testicular, and other cancers.
- Thyroid Disorders: PFAS can disrupt hormone regulation, leading to thyroid dysfunction.
