You can look up what’s in retardant when in general terms

It’s not like flame retardants in furniture and tents that traditionally depend on pfas. Very different stuff, though not completely free of worrisome things like corrosion inhibitors

We have of course had huge amounts sprayed and dropped around here. During the Ferguson fire they drove tankers down the road and sprayed both sides

You can also find POV videos of people under a drop. It’s quite a slop.

US wildfire suppressants rife with toxic heavy metals, study finds | US wildfires | The Guardian

"The US federal government and chemical makers have long concealed the contents of pink wildfire suppressants widely spread by firefighting aircraft to contain blazes, but new test results provide alarming answers – the substances are rife with cadmium, arsenic, chromium and other toxic heavy metals.

The suppressants are a “major” source of toxic pollution that causes heavy-metal levels to spike in the environment, and the products themselves contain metal levels up to 3,000 times above drinking water limits, the peer-reviewed research found."
