Environmentally Improved AFFF

Abstract

This investigation was undertaken to try to gain some insights into how the chemical composition of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrates effects the environmental properties of these fire extinguishing agents. Since this is a relatively new area of concern and interest, there will be differences of opinion in how to approach the investigation. The contractor's original proposal and the final work statement are presented below for purposes of clarity in outlining the work and criteria used in this investigation.
