Study of chemical exposure in firefighters’ urine
This observational study looks at how common environmental chemicals may build up in firefighters, measured with urine samples before and after exposure. It may help researchers understand potential health risks in this job—even though you won’t receive study medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a firefighter (career or volunteer)
- You are over 18 years old
- You are willing to sign written consent to take part
- You can provide a urine sample before and after exposure

This study looks at how a firefighter's job might affect their health, especially cancer risks. It involves giving a small sample (like blood or urine) so researchers can learn more.
This study tests an early-detection cancer screening approach using blood and urine samples in firefighters. If it works well, it could help find certain cancers earlier than usual.
This study is testing a new way to screen firefighters for cancer early, using special scans and blood tests. It aims to find cancer sooner so treatment can start earlier.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers” and breathing/acid-reflux measurements in FDNY workers exposed to the 9/11 site to understand airway disease, Barrett’s esophagus, and reflux. It may help identify which people have hidden (underdiagnosed) reflux or lung involvement after 9/11.
This study looks at how well firefighters can check their own hydration using urine color. You may help by providing urine and blood samples over a few days.
This trial tests if taking a special tablet twice daily can help male firefighters lower PFAS chemicals in their bodies. It involves three visits in the San Francisco Bay Area, at-home blood tests, and weekly text surveys over about 6.5 months.
