Sunrise of PFAS Replacements The Case of Fluorine-free Foams (F3)
Citation:
Ibrahim, Mohamed Ateia. Sunrise of PFAS Replacements The Case of Fluorine-free Foams (F3) . Presented at ACS Fall & EPA Seminar | Fluorine Free Foams Presentation, San Francisco, CA, August 13 - 17, 2023.
Impact/Purpose:
Overview of ongoing F3 research. Investigating the impacts of novel PFAS-free AFFF on environmental and human health is necessary to ensure they are safer, sustainable, and environmentally responsible. Little available/accessible information about the new alternatives leaves many questions unknown regarding their compositions and their environmental impacts. Proactive studies are needed to generate data on the detection, fate, treatability, and toxicty of the replacement chemical candidates.
Description:
Presentation will be delivered at EPA webinar (Innovations in Environmental Science) and at ACS Fall Meeting. Overview of ongoing F3 research. Investigating the impacts of novel PFAS-free AFFF on environmental and human health is necessary to ensure they are safer, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.
