Impact on the aquatic medium of the number of inorganic additives that are part of the foaming agents for firefighting is investigated in paper. The influence of the most widespread inorganic components on aquatic organisms was analyzed. Significant variability of data was noted. It is proved that the magnesium and sodium chlorides are the safest for the environment and the most dangerous ones are aluminum compounds and sulfamic acid. Inorganic additives based on aluminum, sulfamic acid, and sodium bicarbonate are the most dangerous for aquatic living organisms, in the short and long term, and the safest compounds are magnesium and sodium chlorides.
