Individuals Exposed To Contaminated Water With Unsafe Levels Of PFAS May Be Eligible For Compensation & Justice
The implications of PFAS exposure are alarming as they do not naturally break down in the environment and can accumulate in human blood and organs.
According to the updated assessment, PFAS may be:
- Contaminating the areas surrounding more than 700 military installations across the United States;
- Posing severe health and environmental concerns
- Affecting the general public and service members and their families.
The Areas Surrounding More Than 700 Military Installations Across The United States Are Likely Contaminated By PFAS
Plumes of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” flowing from at least 245 US military bases are contaminating or threatening to pollute drinking water for nearby communities, and hundreds more are likely at risk across America, a new Department of Defense report finds.
A recent comprehensive review of records conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has revealed alarming findings regarding the widespread contamination of the areas surrounding military installations by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals."

Studies Claim The Implications Of PFAS Are "Alarming"
The implications of PFAS exposure are alarming. PFAS are dubbed "forever chemicals" because they do not naturally break down in the environment and can accumulate in human blood and organs.
Studies have shown that even low-level exposure to PFAS can increase the risk of cancer, harm fetal development, and reduce the effectiveness of vaccines.
As further investigations are carried out, the number of communities threatened by the military’s pollution will likely increase.
The defense department has only looked at about one-third of more than 700 facilities suspected of having contaminated the ground with PFAS.
Some of the highest levels of PFAS in groundwater ever detected have been found around bases.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s advisory health guidelines state that less than one part per trillion (ppt) in drinking water is safe—levels found around military bases have exceeded 2.25m ppt.
The government has confirmed the presence of PFAS in drinking water and groundwater at 455 sites, with an additional 255 bases under suspicion of contamination.
This brings the total number of DOD sites with confirmed or suspected PFAS contamination to a staggering 710.
This situation has raised significant concerns among service members, their families, and communities living near these military bases.

PFAS Water Contamination FAQ: Questions About PFAS Water Contamination
How many Americans are affected by PFAS-contaminated drinking water?
Drinking water contamination with Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) originating from non-military sources has become a growing concern. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) September 2021 update, approximately 10 million Americans were affected by PFAS-contaminated drinking water.
What are some of the primary sources of PFAS-contaminated drinking water?
PFAS contamination cases are linked to firefighting foams from military bases and non-military sources like industrial discharges, manufacturing, and landfills. An "Environmental Science & Technology Letters" study found that non-military sources accounted for 36% of PFAS contamination in drinking water supplies in the US.
What are the most recent perceptions of the danger of PFAS-contaminated drinking water?
