Decontamination of PFC/PFAS contamination in fire extinguishing and sprinkler control centers:
The decontamination of PFC/PFAS contamination in fire extinguishing and sprinkler control centers requires strict compliance with the legal limits, as PFC/PFAS compounds are organofluorine compounds that are produced artificially and only degrade slowly in nature.
PFC/PFAS decontamination of foam concentrate tank systems in sprinkler systems carries the risk of contamination carryover and therefore requires careful cleaning and isolation of the affected areas to avoid contamination. The cleaning of complex Firedos systems requires special cleaning techniques and solutions.
NT Service GmbH has successfully decontaminated a fire extinguishing/sprinkler control center and achieved values below the 1 microgram mark. Comparable results can also be achieved when decontaminating other legally regulated substances such as PFAS. Through continuous research and development of new technologies, the decontamination technology is constantly being improved in order to be able to work even more effectively and precisely in the future.
Occupational health and safety measures are particularly important for physically strenuous activities or work with certain materials or substances in order to prevent injuries and illnesses caused by accidents, overexertion, heat, cold, noise, dust, chemicals or other sources of danger. Compliance with occupational health and safety measures can help to protect the health of the person carrying out the work and prevent the development of occupational diseases.
Overall, the decontamination of PFC/PFAS contamination in fire extinguishing and sprinkler control centers is a challenge, but requires precise compliance with legal limits and adherence to occupational health and safety measures. However, with the continuous research and development of new technologies, even more effective and precise results can be achieved in the future to protect people and the environment.
Indeed, PFC/PFAS compounds are a serious problem for the environment and human and animal health. These artificially produced organofluorine compounds are widely used in many industrial sectors due to their excellent water, grease and dirt repellent properties. PFC/PFAS compounds in extinguishing foam are particularly widespread in the fire department, as they are very effective in fighting fires.
However, studies have shown that PFC/PFAS compounds degrade very slowly and can accumulate in the environment, especially in groundwater. This can have serious effects on the environment, including endangering drinking water resources and affecting biodiversity.
In addition, scientific studies have shown that PFC/PFAS compounds can be harmful to the human body and are classified as carcinogenic. Long-term exposure to PFC/PFAS compounds can lead to various health problems, including liver and kidney damage, impaired immune function, increased risk of cancer and other diseases.
Therefore, the decontamination of facilities contaminated with PFC/PFAS compounds is of utmost importance. NT Service GmbH has many years of experience in this field and specializes in carrying out decontamination work. State-of-the-art technologies and processes are used to clean the systems as effectively and precisely as possible.

However, the decontamination of PFC/PFAS contamination requires strict compliance with legal limits and the use of special cleaning techniques and solutions. Another important factor when carrying out decontamination work is the health and safety of the employees involved. NT Service GmbH attaches great importance to the health and safety of its employees and implements high safety standards that go beyond the legal requirements.
