Veterans exposed to PFAS through firefighting foam or contaminated water on military bases often face denied VA disability claims due to lack of presumptive recognition for illnesses related to PFAS exposure. This in-depth guide explains how to document exposure, establish a strong medical nexus, and navigate the VA disability claims process for PFAS-related conditions like kidney cancer, thyroid disease, and ulcerative colitis.

Emerging research links PFAS and other toxic water contaminants to increased risks of lung cancer and mesothelioma—learn how these hidden pollutants threaten your health and what actions communities can take to protect themselves.

Recent research suggests a connection between PFAS exposure and brain cancer, highlighting potential risks for military veterans, firefighters, and communities near contaminated sites—explore the latest scientific findings and regulatory actions.

New studies link PFAS exposure and pancreatic cancer by disrupting endocrine function, inducing chronic inflammation, and causing genetic mutations.

New research highlights the link between PFAS exposure and bladder cancer, showing how these persistent chemicals accumulate in the bladder, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt cellular functions, increasing cancer risk in contaminated communities and high-exposure occupations.

Emerging research links PFAS exposure to prostate cancer by disrupting hormones, inducing inflammation, and causing DNA damage, increasing cancer risk for men in contaminated environments and high-exposure occupations.

New research links PFAS exposure to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma through immune suppression, chronic inflammation, and oxidative DNA damage, increasing cancer risks for individuals in contaminated environments.

PFAS exposure can cause ulcerative colitis by disrupting immune regulation, causing damage to intestinal lining integrity, and altering gut microbiota, particularly in individuals who consume contaminated water sources and those who have regular occupational exposure.

Scientific studies reveal a strong link between PFAS exposure and liver cancer, with evidence showing how these persistent chemicals bioaccumulate in the liver, disrupt fat metabolism, and trigger chronic inflammation, increasing cancer risk in exposed communities and workers.
