ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Firefighters face unique and severe occupational risks, from toxic fire effluents and chemical exposures to elevated cancer rates, physiological stress, and psychological burden. This symposium unites leading experts to share evidence and drive action.

Over two intensive days, delegates will explore the latest research on fire effluents, decontamination, biomonitoring, occupational cancers, health surveillance, and policy frameworks — with presentations from top institutions across the UK, Europe, North America and beyond.
