Yes, primarily to fish. The retardant is a fertilizer slurry. When dropped in water, the fertilizer turns to ammonia, which is toxic to fish and some other aquatic organisms. The degree of toxicity depends upon the dilution factor. Retardant drops in small streams have been known to kill trout for several miles downstream.

What is a Bambi bucket?
A Bambi bucket is a collapsible bucket suspended from a helicopter performing firefighting operations and used for lifting and dumping water or fire retardant chemicals.
Is teflon fire retardant?
Teflon itself is not fire retardant, but it has a high resistance to heat and does not easily catch fire. However, when Teflon is exposed to high heat or flames, it can release toxic gases, so it is important to use Teflon products in a safe manner to prevent fires.
What are the benefits of using fire retardant varnish on wooden surfaces?
Fire retardant varnish provides a protective coating on wooden surfaces that helps to slow down the spread of fire. This can help to prevent the wooden surface from catching fire easily and can provide valuable time for people to evacuate a building in case of a fire. Additionally, fire retardant varnish can also help to reduce smoke and toxic fumes produced during a fire, making it safer for occupants and firefighters.

Is PVC fire resistant?
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is not inherently fire resistant. It can ignite easily and release toxic fumes when burned. However, there are PVC products that are treated with fire retardant additives to improve their fire resistance.
