Original Abstract

The aim of our work was the ecotoxicological evaluation of selected foam extinguishing agents which are most often applied in case of fire in the Czech Republic: STAMEX F-15, EXPYROL F-15, MOUSOL APS F-15, FINIFLAM F-15 and PYROCOOL B. Since surfactants have a negative impact mainly on aquatic ecosystem predominantly the ecotoxicity on aquatic organisms was tested. Based on the results of the ecotoxicological tests the values of LC50, EC50, and IC50 for the tested preparations were calculated and their ecotoxicities were compared.
