This study tests whether a medication called colesevelam, which is normally used to lower cholesterol, can help reduce the levels of PFAS (forever chemicals) in your blood. PFAS are harmful chemicals that stick around in the body, and this trial aims to see if the drug can help remove them, potentially lowering your risk of health problems.
This trial tests whether a video-based program can help firefighters become more aware of their behaviors and risks. If you are a California firefighter, it may help you stay healthy and safe on the job.
This trial tests whether a daily dietary supplement can reduce levels of PFAS chemicals in the blood. If you are a male firefighter with past exposure to PFAS, this study might help you lower these chemicals.
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 looks at how PFAS chemicals in tap water may affect health. If you join, researchers will check your PFAS levels and see if a treatment can help lower them.
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.
