Reducing and Preventing Releases of PFAS-Containing Firefighting Foam
One of the key pollution prevention recommendations in the State’s PFAS Action Plan was to discontinue use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam where possible. This page describes requirements of the 2021 Act Concerning the Use of Perfluoroalkyl or Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Class B Firefighting Foam, which includes efforts to develop a 'take back' program to recover PFAS-containing firefighting foam from municipalities, to identify PFAS-free foam replacements, and to develop guidance for decontaminating fire apparatus that previously contained PFAS-containing foam.
