Guam U.S. Naval Activities is located 3,300 miles west of Hawaii and 1,500 miles east of the Philippines. It was established in 1898, and it is still active today.
Regrettably, Guam U.S. Naval Activities is one of the over 700 military bases that are heavily contaminated with PFAS, a group of very toxic chemicals. If you were stationed at Guam U.S. Naval Activities and came to struggle with a disease that may be related to PFAS exposure, we encourage you to give our legal team a call, as you may be eligible for compensation.
At Guam U.S. Naval Activities, according to the EWG, the concentration of PFAS in the environment in 2020 was 204.3 parts per trillion, which poses a significant danger to the health of the people who live there.
Undoubtedly, the most harrowing health problem exposure to PFAS can result in over the years is cancer, which can develop in multiple organs and tissues in the body, depending on where the highest concentration of these chemicals is located. Nevertheless, PFAS exposure can also cause other health issues, which are serious as well. The following are the diseases you can come to suffer from due to PFAS exposure, as well as the diagnoses that qualify you for filing a claim:
It is worthy of note that exposure to PFAS takes several years to several decades to trigger a disease, as they cause damage to the body gradually. The greater the concentration of PFAS in your blood, the more susceptible you are to developing a disease. Since PFAS are also known as "forever chemicals", they do not break down in the environment, and they cannot be eliminated by our bodies either.
The issue of PFAS exposure began to arise on the military bases of our country after 1966, when AFFF became the norm when it came to putting out Class B fires. Consequently, if you were stationed at Guam U.S. Naval Activities or another contaminated military installation and developed one of the health issues above, we advise you to give our legal team a call, as you are most likely eligible to file a toxic exposure claim.
All you have to do to start the legal process is contact us, provide our legal team with as many details as you know and can remember about your circumstances of PFAS exposure during a 10-minute phone call. If you meet the eligibility criteria, a skilled toxic exposure attorney will file a PFAS claim on your behalf.
