Firefighters at Risk: Flame Retardant Tied to Brain Tumors - AI Podcast

  • サマリー

  • Story at-a-glance
    • Research has identified a unique genetic mutation in brain tumors of firefighters directly linked to flame retardant chemicals, with more mutations appearing after longer exposure periods
    • Chemicals found in flame retardants damage genes regulating cell growth, causing aggressive brain tumors like glioma that lead to severe disability if untreated
    • Everyday household items including furniture, electronics and children's products contain these same toxic chemicals, putting families at risk from low-level but persistent exposure
    • Flame retardants break down into particles that contaminate household dust, which people inhale and absorb through skin during normal daily activities
    • Reduce exposure by choosing flame-retardant free furniture and household items, using a vacuum with a HEPA filter, avoiding stain-resistant fabrics and selecting certified organic products, especially for children
