AFFF Firefighting Foam: What’s the Problem?
AFFF firefighting foam is used to extinguish fires driven by highly-flammable liquids, such as petroleum and jet fuel. AFFF has been used by military fire crews for approximately 60 years, and until 2018, was required for civilian airports across the United States.
Many AFFF firefighting foams contain polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Because these toxic chemicals have been utilized in wide array of industries, they are persistent in the environment, including groundwater. PFOA and PFOS can also accumulate in the human body over time and do not breakdown.
Over the years, PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS, have been linked to a range of health issues, including:
- Fertility issues and pregnancy-induced hypertension/preeclampsia
- Increased cholesterol
- Changes in the immune system
- Increased risk of certain cancers (e.g., testicular and kidney cancer)
- Changes in fetal and child development
- Liver damage
- Increased risk of thyroid disease
- Increased risk of asthma
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated PFOA as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on limited evidence suggesting exposure can cause testicular and kidney cancer in humans.
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs recently issued an alert warning veterans about the increased risks of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and kidney cancer related to the use of AFFF firefighting foam at U.S. military installations.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies PFOA and PFOS as “emerging contaminants,” and has established a “Lifetime Health Advisory” setting a recommended lifetime limit for exposure to the chemicals in drinking water.
