Description
The US Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program (NTDP), Wildland Fire Chemical Systems (WFCS) program has a (service) need to study firefighting chemicals (water enhancers and Class A foams) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the lowest achievable detection level. This testing will be in conformance to ASTM D7979 or the EPA’s Modified Method 537 (537M) for determining presence of PFAS analytes. Current WFCS Qualified Products List water enhancer and Class-A foam products will be evaluated by a third-party laboratory to determine the presence of PFAS, including a suite of 36 analytes that are classified with the PFAS family of chemicals. These results will inform the Forest Service into potential updates of Safety Data Sheet for current water enhancers and Class-A foams. Additionally, these results will help to inform safety protocols for handling and deploying firefighting chemicals.
