The Problem: Diesel Exhaust and Firefighter Health
Firefighters are everyday heroes, risking their lives to save others. However, an insidious threat lurks within their own fire stations: cancer-causing toxins from diesel exhaust fumes. Diesel exhaust is a well-documented carcinogen, and scientific evidence directly links exposure to an increased risk of lung cancer. In fact, since 2002, cancer has caused 66% of career firefighter deaths. This alarming statistic underscores the critical need for effective solutions to eliminate these dangerous toxins from fire stations.
