Webinar – Advancing Volunteer Firefighter Health: Findings from the ECHOS Study

November 19 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Free

Volunteer firefighters face many of the same dangers as their career counterparts, yet due to limited research on volunteers little is known about the specific exposures they encounter that could impact their health. To help close this gap, the Firefighter Cancer Initiative (FCI) at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami completed a project using wristband sampling to characterize carcinogens in volunteer firefighter work environments. Join FCI researchers Madeleine Sayre and Dr. Alberto Caban-Martinez for this NVFC webinar to hear about the recent findings from the ECHOS Study (Environmental Characterization of Health hazards in Occupational Settings).
