Since 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency has been striving to remove the PFAS that lurk on Moody Air Force Base—a process that is still ongoing. While this group of hazardous substances is known as forever chemicals, the agency found a way to remove PFAS from the environment and is working to remediate the issue.

What toxic agents were present on Moody Air Force Base?
While the PFAS that were released by the use of AFFF are the only contaminant at Moody Air Force Base, their concentration in the environment is very high and thereby poses a great health danger to everyone who is stationed there. Two of the most studied chemicals from this group are PFOS and PFOA, both carcinogenic to humans.
Exposure to these toxic agents occurs by inhalation or ingestion and can eventually lead to the development of serious diseases. By employing AFFF to extinguish petroleum and jet fuel fires, military firefighters would release large amounts of PFAS in the environment, which would remain there forever. If you suffer from a disease you suspect is the result of your stay at Moody Air Force Base, we strongly advise you to give our law firm a call and we will promptly help you file a claim to recover the compensation you are eligible for.
What diseases can you develop following toxic exposure at Moody Air Force Base?
There are numerous diseases and health issues that have a strong causal relationship to exposure to PFAS since these chemicals are very harmful and once they are inside the body, they can easily travel to various organs and tissues through the bloodstream and the lymphatic system.
The following are the diseases and health problems you can develop following toxic exposure at Moody Air Force Base, as well as the diagnoses that make you eligible for filing a personal injury claim. Veterans who intend to file a claim must have spent at least 1 cumulative year at the military base to become eligible.
It is important to know that if you have any other type of cancer and were stationed at Moody Air Force Base after 1970, you are still eligible for filing a claim, as exposure to PFAS has a strong connection with a wide range of malignant diseases.
Therefore, regardless of the type of cancer you are struggling with, our attorneys can still help you seek the financial compensation you deserve. Because the process of filing a claim, both for personal injury and with the VA, is very complex, the assistance of a lawyer whose main area of practice is toxic exposure is essential.
