Coventry Training Site, located on Phode Island, is contaminated with PFAS, a group of toxic fluorinated chemicals, exposure to which can lead to the development of numerous serious diseases. The primary source of PFAS on military bases is the use of aqueous film-forming foam, also known as AFFF, by military firefighters and trainees.
However, the presence of PFAS on Coventry Training Site makes it a very dangerous place to be stationed, as toxic exposure is bound to occur among military members, particularly among firefighters and trainees. These chemicals are known as “forever chemicals”, as once they are released into the environment, they persist, which makes it very challenging for agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency to completely remove them. Similarly, once PFAS released by AFFF enter the body, they reside there forever, being able to cause awful, even fatal diseases. The PFAS levels according to the EWG at Coventry Training Site are at 61.2 ppt, exceeding the new EPA limits.
Cancer is the most serious disease that exposure to PFAS can result in. The larger the amount of PFAS in your body, the more likely you are to develop a life-threatening disease. Nonetheless, there are multiple other diagnoses for which you can seek compensation:
