GENERAL BACKGROUND
Firefighting foam, also known as AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) is a foam firefighters use to put out fires. It has been used since the 1960s, particularly in the military and at airports because of its effectiveness in extinguishing jet fuel and petroleum fires. Dangerous chemicals known as PFAS are used to make firefighting foam.
Exposure to the PFAS chemicals in AFFF may cause various types of cancer in firefighters who were regularly exposed to it.
