#BreastCancerAwarenessMonth wraps up this week, but the questions don’t.

Our latest #Insight looks at breast cancer in the #fireservice: the chemicals firefighters encounter, why women have been missing from the research, the signs men shouldn’t ignore, and why your exposure record matters.

👀 Here's something that surprised us about the research on breast cancer in firefighters: women made up less than 4% of those studied (Cardona et al., 2024).

Exposures that were never recorded can't be studied.

Start your record with the free IPSDI Exposure Tracker app. Adding past exposures is easy, and you can opt in to share your record with the National Firefighter Registry. 🔗 below
