PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of chemicals that have become a silent, pervasive threat to our health and environment. These substances are virtually everywhere—from the cookware in our kitchens to the water we drink. Understanding what PFAS are, how they affect us, and recognizing the warning signs of exposure is crucial [...]

AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam), is a key tool for combating dangerous fires involving flammable liquids like gasoline and jet fuel.   This Foam has been widely used by firefighters and military personnel due to its effectiveness in suppressing fuel fires quickly. However, recent scientific research has uncovered serious health risks associated with exposure to AFFF, particularly [...]

Firefighting foam, specifically Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), has been a critical tool in protecting military personnel and assets from devastating fires, especially those involving jet fuel. However, behind its life-saving capabilities lies a troubling legacy of health risks and environmental contamination. This article explores the profound impact that AFFF exposure has had on service [...]

PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals," have become a critical topic in environmental health and safety discussions. These man-made chemicals are persistent in the environment and have significant implications for public health, especially when found in drinking water supplies. As someone deeply involved in legal cases related to PFAS exposure—including firefighter cancer claims and [...]

The EPA has identified over 12,000 types of PFAS chemicals, all linked to serious health risks. /https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-08/pdf/2024-08547.pdf   These "forever chemicals" don’t break down in the environment and accumulate in the human body over time. The science is clear: there is no safe level of PFAS exposure. Even at just 1 part per trillion, these [...]
