A study shows over a quarter of firefighters exposed to the Grenfell Tower fire have long-term health disorders, prompting calls for urgent health reviews.
Prof Anna Stec, a co-author of the report, revealed that many firefighters did not use respiratory protection during the Grenfell disaster despite the overwhelming toxicity.
The rate of respiratory and digestive diseases among firefighters who encountered smoke was three times higher than those who were not exposed.
Matt Wrack emphasized that the findings highlight the necessity for comprehensive health tests to protect firefighters, drawing lessons from the post-9/11 health initiatives.
