dc.description.abstractFirefighting occupational exposure is classified as possible carcinogen to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [1,2]. Full monitoring of firefighters’ exposure to PAHs via all exposure routes should be performed through the quantification of their internal dose. The consumption of tobacco is responsible for the exposure to many smoke components including more than sixty known carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [3]. PAHs are ubiquitous compounds formed during pyrolysis or incomplete combustion of organic matter, being well known for their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties to humans [4,5]. So far, the impact of tobacco smoke on firefighters’ total exposure to PAHs is very limited.pt_PT
dc.description.sponsorshipAuthors are thankful to all firefighters involved in the study. This work was supported by European Union (FEDER funds through COMPETE) and National Funds (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT) through projects UID/QUI/50006/2013, POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007265 and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006939, by the FCT/MEC with national funds and co-funded by FEDER in the scope of the P2020 Partnership Agreement. Additional financial support was provided by FCT through the fellowship SFRH/BPD/105100/2014.
