Air, Skin, and Biological Monitoring of French Fire Instructors' Exposure to Particles/PAHs During Controlled Fire and Mitigation Strategies.

Occupational exposure as a firefighter was recently classified as carcinogenic to humans by the IARC. Fire instructors' exposure to carcinogenic PAHs is a major concern, and studies that have tried to assess the determinants of their exposure are scarce. An air and biomonitoring study was conducted in fire instructors performing simulated training exercises in enclosed containers.
