The historical and future use of PFAS in fire-fighting foams
Activity: Talk or presentation types › Public Lecture/ Debate/Seminar
Firefighting foams are key tools for the control and extinction of liquid fuel fires. John's talk traced the origins of PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) use in foams, the switch from long to short chain PFAS, and the development of PFAS-free foams, with an emphasis on the physical chemistry processes that underlie foam properties and performance.
