California Wildfires Day 7: What is Pink Powder? How Phos-Check Fighting LA Pacific Palicades Fire?

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires.

This chemical barrier prevents flames from spreading by coating vegetation and flammable surfaces, cutting off oxygen.

While effective, environmental experts raise concerns over its impact on ecosystems and human health.

Phos-Chek, though highly useful, has led to pollution, wildlife harm, and legal disputes.

Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate.
