Norlite burned toxic AFFF in greater amounts – and longer – than previously thought, records show
News
23 Mar 2021 | Times Union
Because aqueous film forming foam, or AFFF, is not federally classified as a hazardous waste, there was no requirement that either the shipper – the Department of Defense – nor Norlite had to report its incineration.
