Japanese media: 4 more incidents of organic fluoride containing foam fire extinguishing agent leakage in Yokota base of the US military stationed in Japan were found foam | fire extinguishing agent | organic fluoride
According to the Japanese Broadcasting Association on the 21st, in addition to the three leaking incidents of foam extinguishing agent containing organic fluoride in Yokota base in Japan from 2010 to 2012 announced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Japanese Broadcasting Association found four similar incidents in the data provided by the US Air Force.
It is reported that the Japan Broadcasting Association requested the US Air Force to disclose the investigation report on foam fire extinguishing agent and other leakage incidents between 2000 and 2022. The US military has provided six investigation reports, four of which are foam extinguishing agent leakage incidents, three in 2020 and one in 2022. The largest one is that more than 100 liters of foam extinguishing agent was discharged during the inspection of fire engines in August 2020.
The report shows that the US side answered "no" to the question about whether the foam extinguishing agent leaked to the local waterway in respect of the three leakage incidents in 2020. However, the US side did not give a clear response to the 4-liter foam extinguishing agent leakage event in June 2022, only indicating that "some extinguishing agents flow into the drainage ditch with rain", and other details were blackened.
