“The United Firefighters Union of Australia (UFUA) has welcomed the Federal Government’s decision to commence legal action against 3M over Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination, following more than 15 years of advocacy by firefighters and the Union.”
–
The UFUA noted firefighters nationally have long called for action to hold multinational companies accountable for widespread environmental contamination and occupational exposure caused by PFAS-containing firefighting foams.
The Union described the legal action as a significant step forward after years of campaigning by firefighters, many of whom were exposed to PFAS chemicals while protecting the community.”
