This military base is situated near Augusta, Georgia, and was recently renamed Fort Eisenhower. The military base was built in 1941 and is still operational today.
Fort Gordon/Eisenhower is contaminated with PFAS, a group of dangerous chemicals that can cause terrible diseases. Currently, the PFAS levels are at 16.3 ppt. AFFF, the fire suppressant that contains these toxic chemicals has been used on the military base since 1966 to put out jet fuel and petroleum fires.
Surprisingly, AFFF was developed by the U.S. Navy and the notorious 3M company. It is worthy of note that PFAS are "forever chemicals", which means that they do not break down in the environment. Consequently, they remain there until cleanup is carried out by organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
By far, the most harrowing diagnosis one can receive after having been exposed to PFAS is cancer, which can develop in numerous organs and tissues in the body.
