"The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), in partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), released Respiratory Diseases and the Fire Service, an eight-plus-year study on the long-term effects and post-exposure mitigation of firefighters' occupational respiratory exposure. The report can assist chiefs in recognizing and quantifying the impact of respiratory exposure, said Bill Troup, USFA fire program specialist."
