摘要：In 2017 in Poland 12522 incidents involving hazardous
substances were recorded, of which 23 have been classified as large and very
large. Apart from the share of carbon monoxide, most of them concerned
uncontrolled petroleum product releases. In the same year over 427 m3 of
foaming agents were used. Consequently, an extremely important issue at
the intervention level is the efficient and safe removal of the resulting
pollution. Tests of maximal absorption proprieties with the use of the
modified Westinghouse method executed on a wide range of industrially
used diverse industrial toxic substances and various classes of waste of
firefighting foam agents have demonstrated substantial usability of rigid
polyurethane foam waste. The obtained maximal theoretical sorptivity were
within the range of 1.87-5.11 kg.
kg-1. It has also been proven that absorption
proprieties in relation to waste firefighting foaming agents were reduced.
However, the maximum absorption proprieties of the tested rigid
polyurethane foam waste are much higher than those for standard mineral
sorbents used in rescue operations, which indicates a high potential for their
practical use for emergency services.
