Former airmen who served at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire want all current and former airmen to be screened for cancer. 67 former guard members have died from organ related cancers.

Family members believe long term exposure to toxic chemicals and PFAS compounds in the drinking water are connected to the high number of cancer cases.
