Evaluation of PFAS and Fluorine-Free Alternatives in Fighting Fires
Shalene Thomas, Wood
The objective of this presentation is to understand and compare aqueous film forming foams and fluorine-free foam alternatives from a use, replacement and remediation perspective.
A Tiered Approach to Characterize AFFF Containing PFAS for Product Management
Heather Lanza, Doug Cox, Peter Nadebaum, Dylan Galt GHD
The objective of this presentation is to describe a multi-step analytical and management approach to characterize the composition of PFAS-containing firefighting foam products. By combining results from different analytical methods, it is possible to better understand the material composition and to prioritize those samples potentially posing the greatest risk. A total of 274 AFFF product samples were evaluated and ranked using this tiered approach.
