Military Bases with Unsafe PFAS Levels
In recent years, we’ve seen a growing list of military bases with PFAS contamination. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals used in products to make them resistant to heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. Unfortunately, these chemicals have been linked to a range of health issues, including cancer.
PLEASE NOTE: AS OF SEPTEMBER 2025 – WE ARE NO LONGER TAKING THESE CLAIMS.
It’s estimated that 80% of U.S. military bases are known to have elevated levels of PFAS contamination in both soil and water supplies. The issue is significant because that means more than 600,000 service members and their families could have been exposed to PFAS through on-base drinking water.
On this page, we’ll take a look at the list of military bases with PFAS contamination and the health risks associated with PFAS exposure. We’ll also discuss what legal resources are available to military service members affected by PFAS contamination, and who’s accountable for the military base cancer risk.
This list of military bases with PFAS contamination is by no means exhaustive. In fact, there are many more military bases that have been identified as having PFAS contamination, but at what the EPA considers as “safe” levels. What is considered “safe” today may change, and this list is likely to grow as more research is conducted and more tests are done.

What Health Risks are Linked to PFAS Exposure?
Exposure to PFAS can have serious health consequences. Studies have linked PFAS to a range of health issues, including cancer. PFAS chemicals have been linked to an increased risk of kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, and other health problems. Learn more about other Forever Chemicals PFAS
In addition, children born to mothers exposed to PFAS during pregnancy have been found to have lower birth weights and increased risk of developmental delays. Studies have also found that PFAS chemicals can accumulate in the body over time and can be passed from one generation to the next.

What Legal Resources are Available to Military Service Members?
If you’re a military service member who has been affected by PFAS contamination, you may be eligible for financial compensation. There are a number of legal resources available to military service members who have been exposed to PFAS contamination.
One such resource is the Military Toxic Exposure Compensation Program. This program provides financial compensation to those who have been exposed to toxic substances while serving in the military, including PFAS exposure. The program also provides medical care to those affected and covers the costs of medical exams and tests.
Another legal resource is our team of PFAS Cancer Lawyers. Our lawyers specialize in helping military service members who have been affected by PFAS contamination. We can help you file a claim for financial compensation, as well as provide legal counsel and advice on how to navigate the legal system.
Who’s Accountable for the Military Base Cancer Risk?
The military is ultimately responsible for the safety of its personnel and the safety of the environment. Unfortunately, many military installations have been identified as having PFAS contamination, putting service members, their families, and the surrounding communities at risk of serious health problems.
We’re now finding that possibly millions of military service members, contractors, civilian workers, and their families were exposed to toxic chemicals at the bases where they lived or worked. If you developed cancer, it very well may be related to your time at a military base. You may qualify for substantial financial compensation via cash settlements.
It’s important to hold the military accountable for its actions. If you’ve been affected by PFAS contamination, it’s important to take action and seek legal help as soon as possible. Take Action Now by using the 100% Secure claims form on this page, or call us directly toll-free at 1-800-631-5656. We’re here to help you get the financial compensation and legal representation you deserve.
