@yourturnoutgear The same manufacturers of AFFF have had fluorine-free foams sitting on their shelves for years. These manufacturers have spent decades telling firefighters C6 AFFF is safe because it doesn’t breakdown into PFOS or PFOA when they could have said we have a fluorine-free product.
@RobertBilott @yourturnoutgear @PBS@novapbs@DarkWatersMovie Industry uses “synthetic” for PFAS free foams. PBS headline “Toxic synthetic 'forever chemicals'”. How do we educate PBS regarding industry terms to make sure PBS gets its headlines are right.

2012 MSDS Page 2 faintly aromatic odor
https://t.co/8f6QF80DNj
2019 SDS Page 3 Faintly Ammoniacal
Just based on odor, Novacool must have changed its formula between 2012 and 2019
@swfffe @yourturnoutgear Not “Crickets!” for Pyrocool PYROCOOL - recipient of 1998 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award. Baum’s was Pyrocools blender at the time.

Pyrocool and Novacool are not the same. Pyrocool faintly Aromatic-Novacool faintly Ammoniacal
@GavinNewsom When are you going to end the decade+ sole source contract for retardant - even USFS and CalFire Aviation say retardant won't put out fire - need firefighters on he ground. 2018 record retardant drops 14,000 firefighters and look at the results. Extraordinarily expensive too.
@GavinNewsom Greed, mismanagement, recklessness and profits must be a reference to the sole source contract for Phos-Chek – it is extremely expensive and doesn’t work but CalFire/CalDGS and your office make sure there is no competition
@Amy93594049 We met Dr Jay Russell and Laurie Spalding in 2000. They gave us our first Coton, Dominick. He was the love of our life. A sweet gentle dog like his mother Dottie.
@ericgertler 1,000+ pages does not make the FEIS for BELMONT PARK REDEVELOPMENT a well thought out project for the site. Intellegent development is needed – Belmont Park Community has proposed an incubator for SUNY patents. Vote no on FEIS. Ask gov for tech industry in Belmont
@PeterHDiamandis@xprize Plenty of innovation sole source contract for Phos-Chek retardant prevents innovative chemicals from being used. Many safer, cheaper an more effective chemicals available they are shut out of CA market because of decades old sole source for Phos-Chek
@PeterHDiamandis@xprize@GavinNewsom Until Gov Newsom commits to ending Phos-Chek retardant sole source CA contract this is a pointless exercise. Retardant doesn't work, it kills fish and is expensive. Gov Newsome must take on the US Forest Service, CalFire, and CalDGS No California gov has been willing to do this
CDC has omitted the fire service from the first national PFAS study. This study was to include first responders. Yet, miraculously, in August of 2018, the fire service was omitted from the study. Why? Because firefighters are occupatio... https://t.co/ZmgvCksZL8 via @Change
