• Description:
  This talk will summarize recent studies that have evaluated cancer incidence and mortality in structural firefighters. The speaker will further discuss the predominant exposure pathways among firefighters, and how these pathways contribute to biomarkers of exposure, with an emphasis on known or probable carcinogens. He will wrap up with a discussion about the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and how this may impact firefighters' exposures now and in the future. [Description provided by NIOSH]
