(1) Studies conducted since the 1990s have in-
dicated a strong link between firefighting and an in-
creased risk for several major cancers. 
(2) The cancers identified as most common 
among firefighters according to these studies include 
testicular cancer, which male firefighters are 102 
percent more likely to be diagnosed with, stomach 
cancer, multiple myeloma, and brain cancer, among 
several others. 
(3) The heightened incidence of cancer among 
firefighters has been attributed to their frequent ex-
posure to a range of harmful substances including 
resultant pyrolysis products, toxic particulates, gases 
and fumes, metals such as cadmium and lead, chem-
ical substances such as benzene and vinyl chloride, 
and minerals such as asbestos and silicates. 
(4) An extensive 2014 study conducted by the 
National Institute of Occupational Safety and 
Health (NIOSH) over the course of several years 
and which included almost 30,000 firefighters found 
that firefighters were at an increased risk of being 
diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma and found 
potential links between exposure to fire incidents 
and heightened risks for lung cancer and leukemia, 
among several others.
