"Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFFs) are high performance firefighting foams suitable for rapid knockdown of flammable liquid fires with the outstanding film-forming capability owing to their key ingredient of fluorinated surfactants. However, the fluorinated surfactants used in AFFFs have negative impacts on the environment and health due to their low biodegradability and ecotoxicity. As such, a range of fluorine free foams (F3s) have been commercially developed using other chemicals including synthetic fluorine free ether based surfactants. The F3s were studied as an alternative to AFFFs in this study by reviewing the performance of commercially available F3s and assessing their ecotoxicity in comparison to AFFFs"--Executive summary, page v.
