International Residential Fire Sprinkler Coalition

Firefighters are exposed to dangers and risks every day of their working lives, but one risk that few people consider is their heightened risk of exposure to asbestos. Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was used in construction for decades during the 1900s, is a known carcinogen that increases the risk of many types of cancer. It also causes serious respiratory diseases and disorders, including asbestosis, pleural plaques and pleural fibrosis. For more up to date information on asbestos exposure and the health risks associated with it, please visit the Mesothelioma Center.
