Perfluoroalkyl PFAS Personal Injury Lawyers in TX and New Mexico

Perfluoroalkyl (PFA) and Polyfluoralkyl (PFO) substances are known as manufactured forever chemicals that exist in hundreds of products that have been used throughout the United States since the 1940s.

Two of the most injurious circumstances involving PFAs and PFOs are its existence in firefighting foam and with fluorinated chemical water contamination identified by the Department of Defense on over 400 military sites across the nation.

The Environmental Protection Agency stated the level of PFA and PFO toxic chemicals in the groundwater far exceeds their health guidelines and has been linked to several types of cancers and birth defects.

Those living on or near military bases with contaminated water containing PFAs, and firefighters who use foam with PFAs while doing their jobs are more prone to dangerous exposure from these chemicals. However, anyone can be adversely affected by them through their work in production and factory jobs, or through their use in everyday household products.
