What Firefighters and Soldiers Must Know About Bladder Cancer
According to a news release published by the American Urology Association, excessive exposure to environmental chemicals and pollutants such as Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)can hinder occupational safety and increase your risk for bladder cancer.
As your body absorbs the cancer-causing chemicals from AFFFs, they get:
- Transported by your blood
- Filtered out through your kidneys
- Eliminated from your body through your urine
High AFFF and PFAS chemical concentrations in urine can damage your bladder's endothelial lining, giving you a higher risk of cancer.
Out of all occupational groups, firefighters and soldiers are among the most susceptible to bladder cancer caused by AFFF and PFAS.
And, because of this, it's a surprise many doctors, firefighters, and soldiers aren't aware of this firefighter bladder cancer risk.
