Were You Exposed to Firefighter Foam? Know the Risks. Know Your Rights.

Firefighter foam — often referred to as AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) — has protected lives for decades. But behind the scenes, many formulations contain toxic PFAS chemicals linked to cancer, immune disorders, and long-term environmental damage.

Whether you’re a firefighter, veteran, airport worker, or concerned community member, this site helps you understand the facts, your legal rights, and the latest updates on active lawsuits and federal investigations.

PFAS Exposure & Health Effects

PFAS chemicals — known as "forever chemicals" — stay in the body and environment for decades. They’ve been detected in blood samples, groundwater, and even household dust.

Health issues linked to PFAS exposure include:

  • Kidney and testicular cancer
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Liver damage
  • Hormonal disruption
  • Fertility issues
  • Thyroid disease
  • Weakened immune response (especially in children)

We offer easy-to-read explainers on the science, the studies, and how exposure is measured — whether on the job or through contaminated drinking water.
