PFAS Contamination

PFAS Contamination

Perfluorinated Chemicals, or PFCs, are a large group of manufactured compounds used to make products more resistant to stains, grease, and water. There has been widespread human exposure to PFCs—airports and military airbases have discharged aqueous firefighting foams containing PFCs, and operators of plastic plants have discharged PFCs into the environment and groundwater supply.

The PFAS Contamination Litigation Group provides a forum for lawyers litigating cases to share knowledge, strategies, and educational resources. The Litigation Group has a secure, members-only list server and document library where members can share pertinent information and documents regarding the litigation. This Litigation Group holds regular meetings that are closed to members only to discuss current cases and important updates.

• Meetings: AAJ Annual and Winter Conventions, or as need by group members.

• Membership: Open to AAJ Regular, Life, Sustaining, and President's Club members.

• Dues: The Litigation Group is complementary to members of the AAJ Environmental and Toxic Torts Section who can agree to the terms and conditions of membership in the Litigation Group's Affidavit. If you are not yet a member, you can join the Environmental and Toxic Torts Section here.
