印地安那研究发现,消防员的PFAS水平较高,与渔具和泡沫有关,敦促采用更安全的做法。 Indiana study finds firefighters have higher PFAS levels, linked to gear and foam, urging safer practices.

印地安那州PFAS测试试验方案发现,消防员血液中的“永远化学物质”可能高于一般人群,这很可能是由于消防泡沫、用具和站点做法造成的。 Indiana’s PFAS Testing Pilot Program found that firefighters may have higher levels of "forever chemicals" in their blood compared to the general population, likely due to exposure from firefighting foams, gear, and station practices. 国家测试了316名现役和退休消防员,结果显示,适当的消毒和卫生可以减少接触。 The state tested 316 active and retired firefighters, with results indicating that proper decontamination and hygiene can reduce exposure. 建议包括逐步淘汰含有全氟辛烷磺酰胺的泡沫、改进消除污染和制定生物监测方案。 Recommendations include phasing out PFAS-containing foams, improving decontamination, and creating a biomonitoring program. 调查结果支持为保护第一反应者而正在进行的努力,因为癌症仍然是造成一线任务死亡的首要原因。 The findings support ongoing efforts to protect first responders, as cancer remains the top cause of line-of-duty deaths.
