Aqueous film‐forming foam (AFFF) has been used on hundreds of military bases around the country to put out emergency fires and, more often, for training purposes to prepare for those emergencies.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
