Abstract
This manual addresses changes required to transition to PFAS free foam related to system effectiveness and its contribution to Fire Hazard Management. However, it does not address health related issues from exposure to earlier foam types. It is recommended that this issue is addressed through the assessment of actual exposure, especially to active fire responders as they are likely to be the most exposed. This might include blood level testing and monitoring with comparison with those PFAS levels observed in the general public.
