Benign Phosphorous Polymer-Based Fire Suppression Additives; Functional Additives and Foam Formation to Enhance PFAS Free Fire Suppressants for Military Use

Abstract

Multiple facilities are investigating the feasibility of utilizing fluorine-free AFFF as replacements to fluorine containing mixtures; however, they have thus far been unable to meet MIL-PRF-24385(SH) requirements. The purpose of this toxicity assessment is to evaluate the potential toxicities of eight different phosphonate-based polymers for addition to fluorine-free AFFFs in order to help improve performance while reducing environmental and human toxicity concerns.
