Lithium/Battery Fire Byproducts Testing

Why These Metals Are Tested 

These metals align directly with battery chemistry, electrical components, and fire residues.

Fluoride
A marker of battery electrolyte breakdown; surface fluoride can indicate exposure risk to corrosive residues that irritate skin, eyes, and lungs.

Aluminum
Linked to neurological and respiratory effects with chronic exposure; commonly released from electrical and battery components during fires.

Cobalt
A known respiratory and skin sensitizer; elevated levels are associated with lung inflammation and systemic toxicity.

Lithium
Can irritate skin and mucous membranes; presence suggests battery-derived contamination rather than typical fire debris.

Manganese
Excess exposure is associated with neurological effects; released from battery cathodes and alloys during high-temperature events.

Nickel
A common cause of allergic dermatitis and respiratory irritation; also classified as a carcinogen with prolonged exposure.

Phosphorus
Indicative of battery electrolyte residues; exposure can irritate the respiratory tract and contribute to ongoing chemical hazards post-fire.

We will schedule a date and time to perform the test and will also offer a free Wildfire inspection
