Original: ISU research aims to cut firefighters’ cancer risk
Iowa State University researchers are working on ways to reduce firefighters' elevated risk of cancer, which has been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and smoke on the job. The Gazette reports on the effort, which comes as firefighting is increasingly recognised as a hazardous occupation with higher cancer rates than the general population.
Why now: Firefighters' occupational cancer risk is a growing public health concern, drawing attention to new research aimed at protecting them.
