Study Will Test California Firefighters’ Toxin Exposure
Researchers are studying whether firefighters suffered any toxic exposure in last month’s deadly Northern California wildfires.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that researchers plan to take blood and urine samples from 200 firefighters for the study.
A cancer-research organization of the San Francisco firefighters’ union is contributing $100,000 for the study. California state health officials and toxic-substances officials are assisting the work.
