Firefighters show higher rates of glioma-linked SBS42 mutational signatures associated with haloalkane exposure, suggesting ...

Firefighters might face a higher risk of brain cancers caused by exposure to chemicals in fire extinguishers, a new ...

New research by Yale has found an association between exposure to chemicals commonly used in firefighting and incidence of a ...

Firefighters with increased exposure to certain chemical compounds are more likely to develop gliomas -- the most common type of malignant brain tumour -- than individuals with other occupations, ...

Previous studies have highlighted a mutational pattern, or "signature" in gliomas linked to haloalkane exposure, researchers said. "In these data, we confirm detection of this signature in a ...

Here the authors use time-resolved X-ray liquidography to follow this motion in a haloalkane and its photodissociation product on an ultrafast timescale with atomic resolution.

Veteran firefighters appear to have a higher risk of brain tumors called gliomas, which can be caused by gene mutations ...
