New research shows firefighters face additional risk just by gearing up.

Study shows firefighter gear could pose risks

In the study published in the Food Chemistry journal, researchers investigated the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the metabolite profile of mature human milk (MHM) using GC–MS and LC-MS.

Scientists tested nine fish species from four northern Illinois rivers for contamination with per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, synthetic chemicals known to be harmful to human health.

Professor Daniele Miranda tracks the flow of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, through waterways to study the effects they have on local communities.

“There have been several urgent contaminant issues throughout our history, but I think it is safe to say that PFAS is the worst one we have had to deal with," said Kyle Doudrick.

Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports PFAS is likely in the blood of more than 97 percent of Americans.

In the article in the Environmental Sciences Europe journal, the researchers assessed the safety compliance of plastic toys in the European market, focusing on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
