Abstract	Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFFs) are high-performance firefighting foams suitable for rapid knockdown of flammable liquid fires with outstanding film-forming capability owing to their key ingredient of fluorinated surfactants. However, the fluorinated surfactants used in AFFFs have negative impacts on the environment and health due to their low biodegradability and ecotoxicity. As such, a range of fluorine-free foams (FFFs) has been commercially developed using other chemicals, including synthetic fluorine-free ether-based surfactants.
