Widespread use of PFAS-based AFFF in the military
The nested case-control study explores the link between PFAS blood levels in active-duty Air Force servicemen and testicular cancer. It also examines the military's use of Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF).
AFFF had been considered the gold standard of firefighting foams, with the Department of Defense (DoD) even mandating its use across all branches of the military because of its effective firefighting capabilities. The government only ceased using AFFF extinguishers, primarily used to combat Class B fires, due to health concerns tied to PFAS, their key ingredient.
