During rescue operations related to the elimination of the effects of industrial accidents or natural disasters, extinguishing agents are used that affect the migration and transformation of contamination in the environment. Firefighting foam sprayed onto an oil spill slowly drains to an aqueous solution and penetrates the soil. The role of surfactants in the removal of petroleum derivatives is well known, but such extinguishing agents also contain solvents, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors and other ingredients that can reduce the beneficial effect of surfactants on soil remediation. The article presents the results of research on the remediation of soil contaminated with diesel fuel and enhanced with firefighting agents used to extinguish fires or remove oil spills on the road. The obtained results of biodegradation and leaching studies indicate differences in the efficiency of diesel fuel removal from soils. It was also found that Wet 1% reduces the amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the soil compared to oily samples not wetted with extinguishing solutions. Chromatographic analyses have shown both the hydrocarbons degradation and the possibility of their transformation into more hazardous compounds. The effectiveness of soil remediation depends on the chemical composition of the extinguishing agent used on the contaminated soil.
