Abstract(s)

Bio4FOX main goals are to a) characterize firefighter’s occupational activities and behaviours through questionnaires; b) assess personal exposure levels to health-relevant hazardous pollutants through metabolites in exhaled air; c) evaluate early effects at molecular and cellular levels in systemic and local-target tissues and d) integrate data for a comprehensive assessment of firefighter’s occupational exposure and related health impacts. The study will comprise three different phases (pre-exposure, during exposure, and post-exposure to fire season).
