Kidney cancer has been strongly linked to chemicals in AFFF
There are many risk factors for kidney cancer, such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and exposure to toxic chemicals like PFAS. Firefighters who developed kidney cancer after serving in the military may have preexisting risk factors that were exacerbated by AFFF exposure.
For some individuals, kidney cancer may take as long as fifteen years to manifest. Thus, chronic exposure to PFAS plays a role in the development of the disease. Unfortunately, the use of AFFF for firefighting training and emergency response has constantly exposed military firefighters to these chemicals.
