| Description | Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in firefighting foam due to their ability to resist heat and dissolve in water. However, PFAS are toxic chemicals that do not naturally break down in the environment. Ecology is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement about the disposal of PFAS-containing firefighting foam. | ||||
