So, between about 1950 and 1990, the government used it at military bases in firefighting foam. The chemical is extremely stable, which makes it easy to use in industrial applications and also means that it remains in the environment for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>For the millions of people who live northwest of Philadelphia, and in <a href=\"\/pl\/teren-do-cwiczen-2\/spory-dotyczace-srodowiska\/westhampton\/\"><u>inne obszary<\/u><\/a> as well, that means because small amounts of PFOA from firefighting foam leaked into the area\u2019s cooking and drinking water supply, they ingested poison without even knowing it.<\/p>\n<p>At extremely low amounts, PFOA is essentially harmless.

However, in PFOA cases, that does not mean two years after the first sip of contaminated water.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery rule states that victims have two years to sue after they learn about their damages and learn that PFOA may have caused them. However, the discovery rule is not a magic cure-all for legal issues with a claim.

This compensation includes money for monetary losses, including medical bills, as well as nonmonetary losses, such as pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, many juries award significant punitive damages in these cases, to punish the tortfeasor (negligent actor) for relentlessly pursuing a course of conduct that put other people in danger.<\/p>\n<p>PFOA water contamination may cause serious injury.
