Original Abstract

The aim of our study was evaluation of the most used extinguishing agents (FEAs) by Fire Rescue Unit in South Moravian region, Czech Republic. The other reason are rare information about hazard to the environment which should be included in safety data sheet (MSMD); if they are present they describe only hazard to the aquatic ecosystem but not to terrestrial one, especially to soil ecosystem. Ecotoxicity of solid wetting agent based on foam TS Turbo (with fluorinated surfactants), TS ECO (without fluorinated surfactants) and ABC FAVORIT 111 (fire - extinguishing powder based on ammonium salts of phosphates and sulphates) were tested. In respect to the fact, that residues of these agents could enter not only aquatic but also terrestrial ecosystem the above mentioned fire extinguishing agents were tested not only in aquatic arrangement (via crustacean Daphnia magna and algae Scenedesmus quadricauda) but also in contact/terrestrial arrangement (via representative of soil edaphone as springtail Folsomia candida and earthworm Eisenia fetida. representative of higher plants lettuce Lactuca sativa).
