However, these foams contains in particular toxic fluorinated compounds that belongs to the class of the so-called ‘forever chemicals’. Here we review aqueous film forming foams with focus on classification, film forming, composition, toxicity, and standards. Foams are classified into aqueous film forming foams, alcohol-resistant foams, and fluoroprotein foams. Foams contain hydrocarbon surfactants, fluorosurfactants, organic solvents, and additives such as pH buffers, stabilizers, salts, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-freeze agents. Firefighting foams are aggregates of small bubbles that efficiently combat liquid fuel fires by forming a vapor-suppressing blanket over the fuel surface. Aqueous film forming foams contain 2–15% of stable perfluorinated molecules. Concerning toxicity, perfluorooctanoic acid has a half-life of more than five years in adult humans. Alternative compounds such as perfluorobutane sulfonate has a shorter half-life of 45 days in adult humans, yet its impact on soil and aquatic ecosystems is not fully understood. The proprietary nature of the aqueous film forming foam formulations is a challenge in developing sustainable firefighting foams.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":541,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Chemistry Letters","volume":"22 4","pages":"2013 - 2033"},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140846218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that seawater has potential benefits for skin health, demonstrating emollient properties, protection against skin barrier disruption, and inhibition of atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions. We present the putative mechanisms by which minerals, salts, and marine organic matter can slow down disease progression, through their numerous activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound healing properties.

Here we review iron filters with focus on metallic corrosion in porous media, flaws in designing iron filters, next-generation filters and perspectives such as safe drinking water supply, iron for anaemia control and coping with a reactive material. We argue that assumptions sustaining the design of current Fe<sup>0</sup> filters are not valid because proposed solutions address the issues of declining iron reactivity and hydraulic conductivity separately. Alternatively, a recent approach suggest that each individual Fe<sup>0</sup> atom corroding within a filter contributes to both reactivity and permeability loss. This approach applies well to alternative iron materials such as bimetallics, composites, hybrid aggregates, e.g. Fe<sup>0</sup>/sand, and nano-Fe<sup>0</sup>. Characterizing the intrinsic reactivity of individual Fe<sup>0</sup> materials is a prerequisite to designing sustainable filters. Indeed, Fe<sup>0</sup> ratio, Fe<sup>0</sup> type, Fe<sup>0</sup> shape, initial porosity, e.g. pore size and pore size distribution, and nature and size of admixing aggregates, e.g. pumice, pyrite and sand, are interrelated parameters which all influence the generation and accumulation of iron corrosion products. Fe<sup>0</sup> should be characterized in long-term experiments, e.g. 12 months or longer, for Fe dissolution, H<sub>2</sub> generation and removal of contaminants in three media, i.e., tap water, spring water and saline water, to allow reactivity comparison and designing field-scale filters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":541,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Chemistry Letters","volume":"22 4","pages":"2113 - 2131"},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10311-024-01736-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140607665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
