AFFF is highly concerning because it contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS are toxic chemicals known to negatively impact human health and do not easily break down in the environment, waterways, wildlife, or human bodies.
Long-term exposure to PFAS/PFOA/PFOS, in high concentrations, causes a buildup in the body. This buildup may have negative health effects like a risk of thyroid disease and testicular, kidney and bladder cancers.
The U.S. Navy developed AFFF in the 1960s. For decades, it was used to fight chemical fires at oil refineries, chemical plants and storage facilities, military airports, and similar sites. Two of the compounds in AFFF are perfluorooctane acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). Both are known carcinogens.
What are the dangers of AFFF? Reproductive impairment. Increased cancer risk. Reduced immune system response.
AFFF is usually created by combining foaming agents with fluorinated surfactants. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are the active ingredient in these fluorinated surfactants.
