The class action complaint was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Washington and names the The 3M Company, Tyco Fire Products L.P., Buckeye Fire Equipment Company, National Foam, Inc. and Chemguard Inc. as the defendants.<\/p>\n<p>D\u00e9cadas de uso, almacenamiento y eliminaci\u00f3n de AFFF en Fairchild AFB causaron la contaminaci\u00f3n generalizada de las aguas subterr\u00e1neas con PFOA y PFOS en las comunidades circundantes, incluida la contaminaci\u00f3n del sistema de agua municipal y los pozos privados que atienden a Airway Heights y Medical Lake, ya que se encuentran aguas abajo de Fairchild AFB. M\u00e1s de 11,600 residentes de Airway Heights y Medical Lake han estado expuestos a agua potable contaminada con PFOA y PFOS y sus propiedades y suelos han sido contaminados con <a href=\"\/es\/areas-de-practica-2\/litigio-ambiental\/acido-perfluorooctanoico-pfoa-agua-contaminacion\/\">PFOA y PFOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>La demanda colectiva alega que los demandantes y otros residentes de Airway Heights y Medical Lake, Washington, en una situaci\u00f3n similar, han estado expuestos a altos niveles de compuestos perfluorados (PFC), y ahora corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir varios efectos en la salud, incluidos efectos en el h\u00edgado y el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico, colesterol alto, cambios en la hormona tiroidea, as\u00ed como c\u00e1ncer de ri\u00f1\u00f3n y otros. Los estudios tambi\u00e9n han demostrado una asociaci\u00f3n entre el aumento de los niveles de PFOA en la sangre y el aumento de los riesgos de varios efectos en la salud de los ni\u00f1os (por ejemplo, efectos sobre el peso al nacer, el desarrollo cognitivo y conductual, la funci\u00f3n inmunitaria y los niveles de colesterol).<\/p>\n<p>La denuncia tambi\u00e9n establece que el valor de las propiedades en el \u00e1rea ha bajado como resultado de la contaminaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstas sustancias qu\u00edmicas persistentes y t\u00f3xicas nunca deber\u00edan haberse producido ni liberado en el medio ambiente.
