Pentagon officials have understood the risks of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) — firefighting foam — since 1970, when military studies showed it was toxic to fish. In 2001, the Department of Defense concluded that the PFAS in AFFF was “persistent, bioaccumulating and toxic.” The DOD waited until 2011 to warn service members about PFAS risks. ....

The shift centers on asking those pharmaceutical companies that produce antibiotics to change the products labeling as to limit their use for medical purposes.
