In North Carolina, runoff from a Chemours plant contaminated the Cape Fear River, creating a crisis for cities like Wilmington that use it for drinking water. Amid public outcry, Wilmington effectively eliminated it from tap water.Other U.S. communities often near military bases or industrial ...
(AFFF) used during firefighter training and in response to fuel-based fires, which can not be controlled by water alone. A number of companies are responsible for recklessly selling this toxic firefighting foam, which has widely contaminated drinking water supplies near military bases, airports and...
PFAS chemicals are one of the primary components of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), which is used to extinguish fuel fires in a number of settings (fire stations, fire training schools, military bases, airports, etc). AFFF works to extinguish fires by creating a thin layer over the fuel...

In fact, PFAS concentrations at part per billion and part per million levels are found in environmental samples taken near high contamination sites including industrial facilities and military bases. In this work, we demonstrate the application of a biosensor based on human liver fatty acid binding ...
Fire extinguishing foam– in aqueous film-forming foams (or AFFFs) used to extinguish flammable liquid-based fires. Such foams are used in training and emergency response events at airports, shipyards, military bases, firefighting training facilities, chemical plants, and refineries. ...
In addition, studies by local governments found that the provisional limit at a water source in Chatan, Okinawa Prefecture, was higher than the provisional limit. This raised the possibility that firefighting foam containing PFAS that is used at U.S. military bases may have polluted the water su...
PFAS forever chemicals have been found in drinking water sources throughout the United States. PFAS enters the groundwater when released at airports and military bases as well as commercial and industrial sites. Once PFAS chemicals enter the groundwater, they seep through the environment, ending up...

People in “vulnerable life stages” — such as during fetal development in pregnancy, early childhood and old age — are at high risk, the report said. So are firefighters, workers in fluorochemical manufacturing plants, and those who live near commercial airports, military bases, landfills, inc...
