Bucks County filed a lawsuit against major manufacturers of PFAS Tuesday morning, the county commissioners and district attorney announced, saying that the companies endangered residents by failing to warn them about toxic chemicals in their products.
PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl substances, have been used in many products including aqueous film firefighting foam (AFFF) used at military bases, airports, petroleum refineries, and fire training centers — including those in Bucks County.
