A challenging problem facing our military is the impact caused by aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) that has been used to control aviation fires at military bases since the 1970s. It contains a substance called PFAS, which has been discovered at hundreds of installations around the world, and Department of Defense leadership has committed to further studying the issue.

In support of the Department of Defense, ERDC is leading a collaborative effort to bring experts together from government and industry to address the legacy issues of PFAS, and subsequent replacement compounds, as they seek out cost-effective and environmentally protective solutions.
