What Is PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manufactured chemicals used in consumer products and industry since the 1940s. Known as “forever chemicals” because they break down very slowly, PFAS can build up within human and animal bodies and the environment over time. As reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ), exposure to PFAS may be harmful to human health. Current peer-reviewed scientific studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to the following health issues:

Decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women
Increased risk of certain cancers, including kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers
Developmental delays or effects in children, including low birth weight, bone variations, accelerated puberty, and behavioral changes
Reduced ability of the immune system to fight infections, including reduced response to vaccines
Interference with natural hormones
Increased cholesterol levels
Increased risk of obesity

How Can You Be Exposed to PFAS?

As stated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR ), a person can be exposed to PFAS in any of the following ways:

Drinking water from contaminated municipal sources or private wells
Eating fish from PFAS-contaminated water

What Is the Scope of PFAS Contamination in Florida?

Florida is one of the states that have been significantly affected by PFAS contamination. Water sources across the state have tested positive for PFAS, particularly in areas near airports, military bases, and industrial sites where firefighting foam has been used extensively. In Florida’s agricultural sector, exposure risks may be increased, as PFAS-contaminated water impacts soil quality and food production. Recent studies indicate that many people in Florida may be unknowingly exposed to PFAS through contaminated drinking water and other sources.

Who Is Liable for PFAS Contamination?

Chemical manufacturers and companies that manufacture PFAS-containing products or use PFAS in their production process may be liable for contamination and associated health risks. Evidence has surfaced in recent years that suggests some manufacturers knew of the dangers yet continued to use or produce these chemicals without proper safety measures. Plaintiffs may claim manufacturers failed to warn the public about the risks of PFAS exposure and neglected to take the necessary steps to prevent contamination. Legal action may be taken against manufacturers of PFAS-contaminated firefighting foam used by firefighters and military personnel for failing to disclose the potential harm.

Are You Eligible for a PFAS Lawsuit?

If you believe you have been exposed to PFAS in Florida and are experiencing related health issues, you may be eligible to join a PFAS lawsuit. This typically involves proving that PFAS exposure resulted in specific health problems. A lawsuit may provide financial compensation for damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the costs of environmental remediation in some cases.
