Who is Exposed to PFOA and PFOS?

Firefighting foam containing PFOA and PFOS contaminated groundwater near various sites where it was sprayed to extinguish liquid fuel fires. Residents around these sites drank water contaminated with high levels of PFAS. Firefighters sustained exposures by spraying the foam, wearing turnout gear that contained PFAS, and living in contaminated fire stations.
