Little Rock Air Force Base toxic exposure cancer claims

The Little Rock Air Force jet bomber facility near Jacksonville started construction on December 8, 1953, on property donated by the Pulaski County Citizens Council. Little Rock Air Force Base is located northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas, and is home to the 19th Airlift Wing (Air Mobility Command) which provides mission-ready Airmen to the Department of Defense and maintains the world's biggest C-130 fleet. When it comes to military bases like Little Rock Air Force Base, the principal source of PFAS pollution is AFFF (aqueous firefighting film-forming foam), which was developed by the Department of Defense and 3M in the 1960s and first mandated by the Navy and Marine Corps in 1967. If you are a member of the military stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base and have developed a condition due to PFAS exposure, do not hesitate to contact our lawyers, as they can help you pursue compensation for your pain and suffering.

What are the diseases that entitle you to file a toxic exposure claim?

A family of chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been used in a wide range of products used by consumers and industry since the 1950s. As early as the 1960s, researchers at the US Naval Research Laboratory and 3M Company began investigating the use of PFAS in firefighting foams to suppress high-hazard, difficult-to-fight Class B fires produced by petroleum products or flammable liquids or gases. However, these fluorine compounds used turned out to be toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative.

According to EWG figures, PFOA levels at the base are at 285,000 parts per trillion, while the PFOS levels are at  74,600 ppt. If you spent time at Little Rock Air Force Base and there is anything in your health status that causes you concern, we strongly advise you to seek medical attention immediately. Along with a physical examination and tests performed, your physician may request extra information about your employment history to assess possible chemical exposure.
