Firefighting Foam Lawsuit: For How Long Do You Have To Be Exposed To AFFF To Develop Cancer? – “Although the PFOS and PFOA in AFFF can be harmful to the human body in any amount, exposure needs to occur for several years for a person to develop cancer.” – answered Kevin McKie, Expert, and lawyer of the AFFF lawsuit.
While AFFF is not inherently hazardous, the two chemical groups contained within it, namely PFOS and PFOA, are very damaging to our health. As a result, long-term exposure to AFFF can result in numerous types of cancer.
Who Should File an AFFF Lawsuit? – Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), often referred to as “firefighting foam,” is a substance that has long been used to extinguish petroleum or oil-based fires.
