The National Fire Chiefs Council lead for health and safety stated that “firefighters are contracting certain types of cancer above the population norm, I accept that and that is a concern”. However, he also stated that there is no proven connection. Do you agree that recent evidence by Professor Stec and others warrants further urgent research on this matter?
