Pink Fire Retardant<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"
\n\u2022\tFire retardant is a mixture of chemicals used to either put out fires or slow their spread.
\n\u2022\tThere are various types, but in the U.S., Phos-Chek is most commonly used to fight wildfires.
\n\u2022\t This particular brand consists mainly of an ammonium phosphate-based solution.
\n\u2022\tPhos-Chek is typically made with salts like ammonium polyphosphate, which doesn’t evaporate as quickly as water, allowing it to last longer on the ground.
\n\u2022\tFire retardants are usually colored to help firefighters see where it\u2019s been applied, which helps them create firebreaks and protect lives and property.
\n\u2022\tHowever, there are concerns about the use of fire retardants.
\n\u2022\tEnvironmental experts argue that using planes to spray them is not very effective, costly, and contributes to pollution in rivers and streams.
\n\u2022\tPhos-Chek contains toxic metals, including chromium and cadmium, which have been released into the environment.
\n\u2022\tThese metals pose serious health risks, such as cancer and liver or kidney damage in humans, and can be lethal to aquatic life.
\n\u2022\tSince 2009, it’s estimated that over 850,000 pounds of these chemicals have been released into the environment.<\/p>\n
