Yakima County, Washington residents blame their health conditions, including cancers, on aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) products that were used at the 330,000 acre Yakima Training Center. These AFFF products, a type of PFAS known as the ‘forever chemicals’, were used during firefighting exercises for decades at the facility, contaminating the drinking water supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Fire training centers and the use of PFAS-containing foam at these locations have become epicenters for contamination of water supplies nationwide,” Hunter Shkolnik of Napoli Shkolnik, representing the residents, told Law360 in an email. “This case is just one more example of the dangers these chemicals pose to our communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
