As early as 2021, government officials were alerted to the presence of potentially dangerous chemicals known as PFAS in pants used by wildland firefighters, according to emails obtained by ProPublica.
Yeah, it seems like an odd chemical to focus on. Given that they’re are exposed to far more dangerous cancer causing hazards. I mean just look at Fukushima and the World Trade Center firefighters.
I know those are pretty extreme cases and obviously reducing PFAS is good. Hopefully they have decent health care especially in retirement, but after seeing the aftermath to the New York fire fighters I’m skeptical.
