Study Warns of Volunteer Firefighters' Levels of 'Forever Chemicals'


Study Warns of Volunteer Firefighters’ Levels of ‘Forever Chemicals’
May 5, 2021
Volunteer firefighters who comprise more than 65 percent of the U.S. fire service have higher levels of “forever chemicals” in their bodies than the general public.
A Rutgers study, which was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, compared the levels of nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the blood of volunteer firefighters against levels in the general population.
The researchers found that the levels of two of the chemicals studied perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) were higher in volunteer firefighters. They found PFDoA levels in 80 percent of the firefighters, but little in the general public. ....

Volunteer firefighters have high levels of 'forever chemicals'


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. ....
