DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Each year, an estimated 80,000 fire fighters battle wildfires, spending long durations at the fire front where they are exposed to high levels of smoke and heat. Sudden changes in weather or fire conditions increase the chances of being entrapped by a wildfire or caught in the burnover of an advancing fire front. Wildfire smoke contains toxic components, including particulates, high levels of VOCs, acids, and carbon monoxide. In addition, many fire fighters are injured or killed by heat-damaged airways or lungs, caused by breathing superheated air; this risk is greater than that from external burns. Fire experts stress that the MOST important aspect of protection when working near a wildfire is to protect the respiratory tract. Currently, however, there is no suitable device available to protect fire fighters from exposure to all these dangers. TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) proposes to develop a portable device that will enable firefighters to work near or escape from the harsh environments present at the fire front. In the Phase I project, TDA will test the device concept on a laboratory scale under simulated wildfire environments. At the end of the Phase I project, TDA will have a prototype design for this portable device. /Public Health Relevance Statement In this study, a portable device will be developed to enable fire fighters to work near, or escape from, the harsh environments at the flame front of a wildfire. This research is relevant to public health because it will protect fire fighters when they are fighting fires that threaten public resources and residential areas. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: In this study, a portable device will be developed to enable fire fighters to work near, or escape from, the harsh environments at the flame front of a wildfire.

描述（由申请人提供）：每年，估计有80,000名消防员与野火战斗，在火阵线上花费了很长的时间，在那里它们暴露于高水平的烟雾和热量。天气或火灾状况的突然变化增加了被野火捕获或陷入前进的火阵线的机会。野火烟雾包含有毒成分，包括颗粒，高水平的VOC，酸和一氧化碳。此外，许多消防员因呼吸过热的空气引起​​的热损伤气道或肺部受伤或杀死。这种风险大于外部燃烧的风险。消防专家强调，在野火附近工作时最重要的保护是保护呼吸道。但是，目前尚无合适的设备来保护消防员免于暴露于所有这些危险。 TDA Research，Inc。（TDA）提议开发一种便携式设备，该设备将使消防员能够在火灾界的恶劣环境附近工作或逃脱。在第一阶段项目中，TDA将在模拟野火环境下在实验室量表上测试设备概念。在I阶段项目结束时，TDA将对此便携式设备具有原型设计。 /公共卫生相关声明中，将开发一种便携式设备，以使消防员能够在野火的火焰前附近或逃离恶劣的环境。这项研究与公共卫生有关，因为当消防员与威胁公共资源和居住区的火灾作斗争时，它将保护战斗人员。 公共卫生相关性：在这项研究中，将开发一种便携式设备，以使消防员能够在野火的火焰前附近或逃离恶劣的环境。这项研究是 与公共卫生相关，因为它将在威胁公共资源和居住区的火灾时保护消防员。
