Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic Exposure to PAHs and Benzene in Firefighters Suppressing Controlled Structure Fires

TL;DR: The results suggest that firefighters wearing full protective ensembles absorbed combustion products into their bodies through their skin, with the neck being the primary site of exposure and absorption due to the lower level of dermal protection afforded by hoods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Exhaled Breath for Disease Detection

TL;DR: Researchers have developed new analytical techniques that permit real-time analysis of exhaled breath with breath-to-breath resolution in addition to the conventional central laboratory methods using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Personal exposure to JP-8 jet fuel vapors and exhaust at air force bases.

TL;DR: Breath samples from various groups of Air Force personnel were collected and found a demonstrable JP-8 exposure for all subjects, ranging from slight elevations as compared to a control cohort to > 100 [mutilpe] the control values, which suggests that further studies should be performed on specific issues to obtain pertinent exposure data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exhaled human breath measurement method for assessing exposure to halogenated volatile organic compounds

TL;DR: The "single breath canister" (SBC) technique is developed, a simple direct collection method for individual alveolar breath samples, and conventional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analytical methods for trace-concentration VOC analysis are adapted.
