Discussion on the Biodegradation Performance of Foam Extinguishing Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

Organic ingredients contained in foam extinguishing agent without environmental treatment may cause serious environmental pollution, so effective evaluation and management of such components are very necessary. In this paper principle and characteristics of OECD ready biodegradation test methods are compared, the feasibility of OECD method applied to environmental performance evolution of foam extinguishing agent is researched, and Matters needing attention in test method selection and influence factors in the test process are discussed considering the component characteristics of samples.
