Health disorders linked to toxic smoke exposure for Grenfell firefighters

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • More than 25% of firefighters involved in the Grenfell Tower fire have developed long-term health issues from toxic smoke exposure.
  • A study of 524 firefighters indicated that 136 reported serious health conditions, including cancer and respiratory diseases.
  • Many firefighters did not wear respiratory protection due to the urgency of their response during the 2017 disaster.
  • The report suggests establishing a health screening program akin to those for first responders after 9/11 to mitigate future health risks.
  • As health complications are projected to increase, authorities are urged to implement protective measures for affected firefighters.
