Other U.S. communities often near military bases or industrial sites did the same when test results were frightening and public pressure, local leadership or state law forced PFAS-laden wells offline or prompted installation of expensive filtering systems, according to Mark White, drinking water...
making them a key ingredient in foam that can smother a fire. Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF, or “A-triple-F”) is a highly effective firefighting agent, especially useful for flammable liquid fires. Many airports, military bases and municipal fire departments...
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 ...

during the Cold War. Because of long time use of AFFF at the site, and other former bases, the USAF contracted us to inventory areas where the foam was used. When concurrent sampling of a public water well underneath the airfield detected elevated levels of unregulated PFAS, we were asked ...
Information. The chemicals is mainly found in the environment around military bases and manufacturing facilities, where PFOA has seeped into local water supplies. The presence of PFOA in the blood has been associated with increased cholesterol anduric acid levels, which can lead to kidney stones ...
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...
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. ...
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, incin...
