What does this mean to mines and industry?
- Fluorochemicals found in AFFF's, FFFP's and Fluoroprotein foams pose very significant risks to the environment through their extreme persistence, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity.
- Use of foams that contain the fluorinated organic compounds (PFOS and PFOA or any compound that degrades or converts to those Compounds) are not to be used, on-sold, traded or otherwise provided to any person other than for the purposes of proper disposal - must be withdrawn from service immediately and managed as a regulated waste.
- Any use of fluorine foams must be fully and completely contained.
