Aqueous Film Forming Foam, also known as AFFF and Firefighting Foam, is a fire retardant often used by firefighters, military personnel, and those in commercial airports to put out fuel-based fires. However, this foam has some devastating effects that everyone should watch out for.

There are still studies taking place about the dangers of AFFF, but we know this: it has carcinogens and “forever chemicals,” meaning that the chemicals can’t be safely disposed of or broken down. 

Learn more in this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast with elite personal injury lawyers Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe. Together, they discuss the dangers of AFFF, how it’s negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of both people and the environment, and what to do if you think you’ve been exposed.
