Sign the Petition: Provide safe drinking water for military service personnel and their families.

Skip to sign

For years, Americans have unknowingly been drinking water contaminated with toxic chemicals found in everyday goods like nonstick pans and dental floss.

And because these chemicals — called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — are found in high concentrations in the firefighting foam used by the military to battle jet-fuel fires, families on military bases are at especially high risk.

Despite their knowledge of the horrifying health problems associated with PFAS (birth defects, advanced-stage cancers, thyroid disorders), EPA officials have argued that bringing water systems to healthy levels would be too expensive.

Tell the EPA: No more delays!
Provide safe drinking water for military service personnel and their families.
