Study Summary
Firefighters are at increased risk of cancer, and both inhalation and dermal routes contribute to overall exposure to carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The purpose of the current study is to determine if post-fire firefighter rehabilitation in an infrared sauna: a) affects absorption of PAHs as measured by urinary metabolites; and b) changes core body temperature and heart rate.
Primary Outcome
Urine samples from firefighters post-fire will be measured for hydroxylated PAHs (PAH-OHs) and the concentration compared to pre-fire urine concentrations of PAH-OHs
Interventions
- OTHER Sauna Rehabilitation
