Managing F-Gases: EDI publishes a practical guide for professionals

As part of our shared commitment to safer and more sustainable practices, we are pleased to share that our member, the European Decontamination Institute, EDI, has just published a new technical guide focused on fluorinated gases in insulation foams.

These gases, CFCs, HFCs, and PFCs, were widely used in construction materials until their environmental risks became known.

The guide, launched in May 2025, was developed by EDI’s Working Group on Hazardous Substances and offers clear, insights: how to identify where F-gases may be present, test for them, and safely manage their removal and treatment.

Aimed at professionals working with insulation and hazardous materials, the guide is available free of charge on EDI’s website by completing a short form.

We encourage our network to take advantage of this important resource and stay informed about best practices in decontamination.

If you are interested, read the guide Fluorinated Gases in insulation foams and complement its lecture with EDA’s guides.
