Lung cancer - PFAS exposure claims
While the majority of people associated lung cancer with tobacco smoking, as up to 90% of these cases are the result of this unhealthy habit, 4% of lung cancer cases are caused by exposure to toxic agents such as PFAS. This is a group of fluorinated chemicals that are currently polluting over 700 military sites throughout the US. The main source of PFAS on military bases is the use of aqueous film-forming foam by military firefighters and trainees to extinguish jet fuel and petroleum fires. If you developed lung cancer as a consequence of exposure to PFAS on one or multiple contaminated military bases, either as a veteran or as the family member of one, we strongly encourage you to contact our law firm, as you may be entitled to financial compensation.
