Remediating and reducing the environmental impact of fire suppression systems contaminated with per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances: Perspectives on current guidelines.
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Fire Safety Journal
A technical review proposes practical guidance for cleaning PFAS-contaminated fire suppression systems, showing that PFAS from AFFF can persist and rebound from pipes and components due to sorption and slow desorption processes, which may limit the effectiveness of simple rinsing and highlight the need for system-specific remediation strategies and evolving policy guidance.
