Toxicity of fire retardant chemicals and fire suppressant foams to vertebrate and invertebrate wildlife species Toxicity of fire retardant chemicals and fire suppressant foams to vertebrate and invertebrate wildlife species
Under laboratory conditions, acute single-dose oral toxicity tests (LD50) were conducted with three fire retardant chemicals (Fire-Trol GTS-R, Phos-Chek D75-F, and Fire-Trol LCG-R) and two fire suppressant foams (Silv-Ex and Phos-Chek WD-881) to determine effects on adult northern bobwhite, American kestrel, red-winged blackbird, and white-footed mouse. In addition, earthworms were...
