Scientists track hidden dangers in Firefighters' bodies after blazes

NCT ID NCT05643014

Summary

This study aims to understand what harmful chemicals firefighters absorb when fighting building fires. Researchers will collect urine and cheek cell samples from 60 firefighters before a fire call, then again within 24 hours and one week after. By comparing these samples, they hope to measure how much toxic smoke exposure firefighters experience during their work.
