What are PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are widely used, long-lasting chemicals that can break down very slowly over time and persist in the environment.
In some communities, PFAS contamination concerns have raised questions about possible health impacts, including certain cancers.

 Why Elkton / Cecil County?

In December 2024, Maryland announced it filed suit against W.L. Gore & Associates alleging PFAS contamination tied to facilities in Cecil County, Maryland.
This page is for people who believe PFAS exposure concerns connected to a local plant may be relevant to their cancer diagnosis.
Who May Qualify
You may be able to pursue a PFAS-related cancer claim if you:
  • Lived in the affected area in parts of Northern Delaware / Northeastern Maryland, generally for at least 1 year before diagnosis.
  • Were diagnosed with kidney, testicular, liver, or thyroid cancer.
Even if you’re unsure whether PFAS exposure is connected to your diagnosis, you can still share your details for a free, confidential review of potential legal options.
Important: Deadlines may apply to legal claims, so it may help to speak with an attorney sooner rather than later.

Did You Know?

 
  • PFAS have been found in the blood of 97% of Americans. 
  • PFAS are everywhere. PFAS have been found in our food, food packaging, drinking water, air, soil, personal care products, and countless household products. 
  • The half-life of PFAS in the body ranges from 3.5 – 4.8 years. This is due in part to their incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bond. This means it could take decades before they leave your body—hence the name “forever chemicals.” 
  • PFAS can be passed to fetuses and newborns. Pregnant mothers can transfer PFAS into the womb by eating or drinking water or food contaminated with PFAS. They can also be excreted through breastmilk. 
  • More than 9,000 PFAS have been identified. More than 600 are currently used in products and industries U.S. today. 
  • As of June 2022, 2,858 communities in 50 states and two territories are known to be contaminated by PFAS.
