WHITE PAPER DOWNLOAD: HOW FIREFIGHTER PPE INCREASES CANCER RISK AND PREVENTATIVE ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE

Smoke, heat and structural collapse have long been the chief external threats to firefighters in this inherently dangerous profession. Yet in recent years, data has shown that one of the greatest threats is lurking within us; cancer. Research is now showing that firefighters contract several types of cancer at a much greater rate than do average individuals. Further, it is well-established that the spike in cancer incidents is directly tied to what firefighters are exposed to in the fireground environment.
