Condessa 33, a fire equipment expertise company, highlighted its role in the ongoing transition from fluorinated firefighting foams (FFFs) to more sustainable alternatives at the recent ILTA conference. In an exclusive interview with Inspenet, Alexis Labbé, Condessa 33’s Founder, discussed the environmental and health risks associated with PFAS-based firefighting foams and the company’s solutions for navigating the transition.
The Urgency of the PFAS Phase-Out at Condessa 33
PFAS-containing firefighting foams pose a serious concern. Experts like Lebbé emphasize the urgent need to phase out their use due to their well-documented health and environmental risks. PFAS chemicals has been linked to cancer, immune system suppression, and other health problems. Additionally, they are highly persistent in the environment, contaminating water supplies and soil.
The United States is at the forefront of phasing out PFAS-based firefighting foams. Many states have already implemented bans or restrictions on their use, and the trend is expected to continue. Condessa 33 is working with clients across the US to develop compliant and effective firefighting foam solutions.
