Air Force responds to ‘forever chemical’ presence on Northwest Florida bases
Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Air Force Base are continuing to address the toxic pres-ence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on their respective properties, also known as “forever chemicals.”
PFAS is found in a variety of products, from clothing to heat-resistant pans to adhesives. They are also present in certain kinds of firefighting foams commonly used by military fire-fighters.
