New Concern for Fire Chemicals Around Homes

By Steve conboy

Warning for all Property Owners! Don’t believe in slick brochures with undocumented safety claims Ask the hard questions, ask for accredited labratory proof. Ask for SDS Trade Secret Ingredients toxins can be hidden in those. Beware of all Wildfire Defense System Contractors out spraying Fire Retardants and Foams. They all need to be ready to prove 100% of the ingredients they are spraying because those fire chemicals are getting closer than ever to windows screens these days. They should do a deep dive on the ingredients especially in the trade secrets since they only buying the chemicals they are not making them. If they are spraying fire retardants around LA that are not California listed as Non Toxic and Non Hazardous they should ask the Chemical Company they buy from to get listed.

All Contractors spraying Fire Retardants around homes and in communities should put the California listing QR Code on the truck window so neighbors can check. All Communities need to beware of toxic chemical drift from fire retardants they can be serious around Pregnant Woman, Infants and people with Immune Disorders. Sprayed Fire Retardant Chemicals can drift from your neighbor’s house when they hire contractors to spray up into there trees and hedges. While the applicator thinks or considers it to be safe concerns exist about the potential health and environmental impacts. While the chemicals are not inherently toxic, some individuals may experience stress or anxiety about long-term health effects from exposure, even if the chemicals are not directly toxic.

Truth Matters. Families, Children and Pets Matter

All Fire Chemicals now being proactively sprayed to defend our homes from wildfires should be mandated to pass EPA Safer Choice and UL GreenGuard Gold and LENS,instead of hiding behind Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Trade Secrets.
