Overview

Overview of the potential issue

Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used for decades to suppress fuel fires at airports, military installations, refineries, and municipal fire departments. Because certain formulations contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, firefighters and personnel involved in training exercises have raised concerns about repeated contact and later diagnoses. Reviews consider service history, the settings where foam was used, and medical documentation.

Who May Be Affected?

Municipal, industrial, and airport firefighters
Military service members involved in fire training exercises
Civilian personnel at bases and airfields where AFFF was used
Workers involved in equipment cleaning or foam disposal

Potential Injuries or Concerns

Diagnoses reported after years of occupational contact
Ongoing medical monitoring
Career interruption related to health conditions
Difficulty reconstructing exposure timelines across multiple postings
