Brown study finds young US military veterans have 13-24% higher PFAS blood levels than civilians

Study identifies PFAS sources: firefighting foam, munitions, groundwater contamination

1 Sep 14 · 9d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 1 of 2

Researchers identified potential PFAS exposure sources including firefighting foams deployed during military training and emergencies, munitions, and contaminated groundwater at military bases. The age concentration among younger veterans is attributed to recent acute exposure during active service, as PFAS compounds like PFOA have half-lives of 1.5-2 years and require 10 years for the body to fully excrete them.

“If someone drank a jar of PFOA today, it would take 10 years for their body to get rid of it.”
