对消防员健康的研究历来集中在非恶性呼吸道疾病和癌症上。最近，人们开始担心许多劳动力领域的生殖健康受到影响，包括消防。这些担忧促使我们对可能导致男性和女性消防员生殖健康不良结果的化学物质暴露进行了审查。对工业卫生文献进行了审查，以确定火灾烟雾中常见的物质。然后检查这些试剂是否具有生殖毒性或致突变性/致癌性的证据。化学制剂及其生殖毒性的这种特征可以定性地确定消防员在正常消防职责中是否会接触潜在的生殖毒性物质。还讨论了减轻这些风险的考虑因素。
Studies of the health of fire fighters have historically focused on non-malignant respiratory disease and cancer. More recently, concerns have surfaced about reproductive health effects in many areas of the workforce, including fire fighting. These concerns prompted this review of chemical exposures that may contribute to adverse reproductive health outcomes in male as well as female fire fighters. A review of the industrial hygiene literature was undertaken to identify agents commonly found in fire smoke. These agents were then examined for evidence of reproductive toxicity or mutagenicity/carcinogenicity. This profile of chemical agents and their reproductive toxicities permits a qualitiative determination that fire fighters are exposed to potential reproductive toxicants as a part of their normal fire fighting duties. Considerations for mitigating these risks are also discussed.
