Hi All, I have heard that a chemical (PFOS) used in the manufacture of AFFF extinguishers is due to be banned next year which potentially could mean that all AFFF extinguishers will need to be disposed of responsibly and replaced? Does anyone know if there is any definitive guidance available on this please?
