Located in Maryland, Gunpowder Military Reservation is currently known as H. Steven Blum Military Reservation. The environment of Gunpowder Military Reservation was found to have a concentration of 14,5 parts per trillion PFAS, which exceeds the permissible limit set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Some health organizations claim that even 1 part per trillion of these hazardous chemicals is dangerous.
The main source of PFAS on the premises of the military base is the employment of AFFF by military firefighters and trainees to put out jet fuel and petroleum fires, which are common on U.S. bases. Nevertheless, this fire suppressant, which was developed by the U.S. Navy and the notorious 3M company in 1966, contains large amounts of PFAS. It goes without saying that the most susceptible people to developing a serious disease are military firefighters.
It is essential to know that only health issues stemming from PFAS exposure make you eligible for compensation if you were stationed at Gunpowder Military Reservation. By far, the most terrible disease exposure to PFAS can cause is cancer, which can develop in numerous organs and tissues in the body, depending on where the highest concentration of these chemicals is.
