Notice text
The US Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program (NTDP), Wildland Fire Chemical Systems (WFCS) program has a (service) need to study firefighting chemicals (water enhancers and Class A foams) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the lowest achievable detection level. This testing will be in conformance to ASTM D7979 or the EPA’s Modified Method 537 (537M) for determining presence of PFAS analytes.
