PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit Attorney in Aberdeen, Maryland

Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) in Harford County is the Army's primary research, development, test, and evaluation center — the proving ground where virtually every major Army weapon system and combat vehicle has been tested. AFFF is used extensively in APG's testing programs for vehicle fire suppression, engine test stands, and weapons systems evaluation. This creates a history of PFAS discharge into APG's groundwater environment going back decades. Harford County filed a water system PFAS claim in MDL 2873 for remediation costs related to APG contamination. Civilian workers at APG — scientists, engineers, test technicians, and support staff — who had occupational exposure to AFFF and developed PFAS-linked cancers or thyroid disease have particularly strong specific exposure documentation through their employment records and APG's documented AFFF use programs. Maryland's 3-year statute means Aberdeen area residents and former APG workers with 2021 or later diagnoses have timely claims.
