New Research Uncovers Gene Impacts of PFAS Exposure in Firefighters

New research uncovers gene impacts of PFAS exposure in firefighters

Researchers at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health found that certain kinds of long-lasting chemicals firefighters are exposed to may affect the activity of genes linked to cancer and other diseases. The findings appear in the journal Environmental Research.

New study links PFAS in firefighter gear to gene activity tied to cancer risk

A University of Arizona study found PFAS exposure from firefighter gear may alter microRNAs, potentially increasing the risk of cancer and other diseases
