What Are PFAS Chemicals and Why Are They Dangerous?

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are synthetic compounds found in many household and industrial products, from nonstick pans to firefighting foam. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS build up in the environment and human bodies over time, causing serious health consequences.

Communities across the U.S., including those at Camp Lejeune military base, have suffered from contaminated water supplies due to negligent corporate practices. Exposure has been linked to cancer, immune deficiencies, hormonal disruptions, and developmental harm in children.

If you or a loved one lived, worked, or were stationed in an area with PFAS water contamination, legal options are available.

Health Risks and Symptoms Caused by PFAS Exposure

Exposure to PFAS chemicals can trigger a wide range of serious medical conditions. Scientific studies show PFAS interfere with hormonal balance, cellular repair, immune system function, and organ health. Below are common symptoms and how PFAS exposure may contribute to them:

Increased Risk of Certain Cancers (Testicular, Kidney)

PFAS chemicals accumulate in the kidneys and reproductive organs, leading to abnormal cellular changes and tumor formation.

Liver Damage

The liver attempts to filter PFAS from the bloodstream, but repeated exposure can cause inflammation, scarring (fibrosis), and liver failure.

Increased Risk of Thyroid Disease

PFAS disrupt thyroid hormone production, causing hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and increased risk of thyroid nodules or cancer.

Fertility Issues

PFAS mimic hormones, which can lead to reduced fertility, altered menstrual cycles, and lower sperm counts.

Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension or Preeclampsia

Pregnant individuals exposed to PFAS have a higher chance of developing dangerous blood pressure conditions affecting mother and child.

Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension or Preeclampsia

Pregnant individuals exposed to PFAS have a higher chance of developing dangerous blood pressure conditions affecting mother and child.

Increased Cholesterol

Research shows PFAS exposure is associated with elevated LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, even in otherwise healthy individuals.

Changes in the Immune System

PFAS impair immune cell production and function, making the body more vulnerable to infections and weakening vaccine responses.

Changes in Fetal and Child Development

In utero and childhood PFAS exposure is linked to cognitive delays, behavioral disorders, and impaired physical growth.

Lowered Body Temperature Regulation

Studies have observed PFAS impacting the body's ability to regulate temperature, particularly during infections.

Diarrhea with Bloody Stool

Gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding can occur when PFAS disrupt gut lining integrity.

Green or Yellow Vomit

Toxic build-up from PFAS ingestion may cause bile-related vomiting, indicating liver or gallbladder involvement.

Lethargy

Fatigue and muscle weakness are common in individuals facing immune system suppression and hormonal disruption from PFAS.

Refusing to Eat

PFAS-induced gastrointestinal issues can cause severe appetite loss and malnutrition symptoms, especially in children.

Lack of Weight Gain

Growth stunting in children and cachexia (wasting) in adults can result from chronic PFAS exposure.

The PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit: What You Need to Know

How PFAS Contamination Began

Companies like 3M and DuPont manufactured PFAS products for decades while ignoring the potential health risks. Firefighting foams used by the military, especially at bases like Camp Lejeune, severely contaminated drinking water sources.

How Exposure Was Hidden from the Public for Years

Internal documents uncovered that companies knew about PFAS toxicity as early as the 1960s. Despite this, they suppressed the information, exposing millions to dangerous chemicals without warning.

Major Settlements and Ongoing Litigation

PFAS lawsuits have led to billions in settlements, and many more claims are underway. Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, those affected by toxic water between 1953 and 1987 have a new path to pursue justice.
