PFAS Exposure Management
AFSO21 LLC offers expertise in PFAS exposure management programs for fire emergency services and community protection.
Everyday, firefighters around the world risk their lives to protect the communities they serve. A hidden danger may lurk in firefighters’ turnout gear, extinguishing products, organizations, and homes. The danger is a group of odorless and colorless synthetic chemicals called PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
For decades, firefighters have been unknowingly exposed to PFAS chemicals. These toxic, synthetic substances known to exist in consumer products like non-stick cookware, food packaging, cosmetics, water and stain-resistant fabrics, and bottled water have recently been detected in firefighter turnout gear and firefighting foams, further increasing serious health risks such as various forms of cancer.
Approximately 110 million Americans have some level of PFAS in their bodies. Does your organization or community know what PFAS are? Does your organization use turnout gear and or firefighting foam that may contain PFAS? What if anything is your organization, local government, or community members doing to minimize or eliminate exposure to PFAS? Does your organization or local community have policies in place regarding PFAS?
AFSO21 LLC can help with with reducing PFAS exposure risks to firefighters and the community they serve. Contact us today!
