"A new class action lawsuit alleges aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) products containing PFAS chemicals manufactured by 3M and other companies contaminated the property and water supplies at the College of Central Florida in Ocala, Florida.

The plaintiffs, who include individuals who attended, visited, worked at, and/or lived near the College of Central Florida, argue the contamination has diminished the value of properties in the area necessitating property remediation.

According to the complaint, the College of Central Florida was previously occupied by a firefighting training school, where students were trained to use firefighting products like AFFF."
