Monitoring for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) at fire training sites

Year: 2021

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of man-made chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products due to their water and oil resistance, chemical and heat stability, friction reduction and surfactant properties. They can be found in many everyday products, including outdoor clothing and also in fire-fighting foams but can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
