More travel executives get their mission-critical industry news from Skift than any other source on the planet.Tell me more
In March 2020, when the world stood still and countries sealed borders, it was impossible to imagine vaccines emerging by year-end. The global travel industry might not have believed that traveler demand would begin manifesting in 2021 and in some cases surpass 2019 levels.
Science is not only bringing the travel recovery to a restart this year, but it is also saving millions of lives in spite of the over three million lost globally over the last year. The power of the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines is being witnessed in the U.S., for example, where travel began showing signs of recovery the first week of April.
Volunteer firefighters make up more than 65% of the US fire service.
Higher chemical levels were also associated with the number of years of firefighting.
The study in the
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is the first to evaluate volunteer firefighters’ exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), chemicals that accumulate in human bodies and in the environment and are in everyday items like electronics and carpeting.
PFAS have been associated with numerous health conditions that affect firefighters, including cardiovascular disease. Increasing evidence has linked them to cancer.
“The primary cause of line-of duty death among firefighters are heart attacks. They also get and die from many types of cancer more often than other people,” says lead author Judith Graber, an associate professor at Rutgers School of Public Health and a faculty member at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute.
