Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is an essential tool in the emergency response and firefighting sectors when it comes to battling flammable liquid fires. However, the usage of AFFF has been linked to significant health issues, which begs the question of what impact its ingredients may have on those who come into contact with them. At The Licatesi Law Group we are dedicated to resolving the AFFF-related concerns in New York to raise awareness of the kinds of illnesses linked to exposure to these compounds. Our team of experts and accomplished litigators at The Licatesi Law Group is equipped to handle product liability cases, and they stand ready to defend anybody impacted by the harmful health impacts of AFFF.

Due to its content of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of synthetic compounds with established environmental persistence and health hazards, AFFF is considered potentially toxic. Evidence from studies points to a possible link between testicular, bladder, breast, kidney, liver, pancreatic, prostate, and pancreatic cancers and elevated risks of PFAS exposure from AFFF. Research examining the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on reproductive health indicates possible correlations with infertility, newborn developmental disorders, and hormone imbalances. The immune system may also be negatively impacted by PFAS, which might make it more difficult to fight off infections and diseases. PFAS exposure has been linked to changes in cholesterol levels, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.  The collective results highlight the necessity of giving due consideration to the possible health hazards linked to exposure to AFFF and PFAS, which calls for continued investigation and regulatory monitoring.
