The purpose of this document is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding the selection and use of firefighting foams based on their:
- Firefighting performance;
- Environmental impact; and
- System and equipment compatibility
Version 3 updates the information to include:
- a new and detailed section on environmental regulations (both local and global);
- updates on remediation technologies and recommendations for cleaning or change out of existing legacy foams;
- new information on environmental and firefighting performance indicators; and
- new insights on both fluorinated and fluorine free foams.
