WEBINAR: Thursday, 1 September, 2022
The transition of firefighting foam from AFFF to fluorine free is the single biggest step in reducing PFAS impact in the environment throughout the world. While there is uncertainty in regulations and validation, understanding and applying current industry best practice can help to manage cost and liability.
Key lessons and points covered
- Foam Transition Approach
- Regulatory update on Foam Policies
- Recent Research and Development Results
