Firefighters are regularly exposed to carcinogenic chemicals. Repeated exposure increases their risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as lung, prostate, lymphatic and melanoma, over the course of their careers.
Consequently, it is crucial to carry out periodic mechanical decontamination to remove all particles that have embedded themselves in the various components of respiratory protection equipment over time.
