Cancer from plastics vapors?

Hmm... nothing here now- must have been disappeared by the old Blogger. Anyway, I had an article referenced on firefighters being denied claims on cancer.

Firefighter cancer risk study would be interesting as they are exposed to possibly damaging vapors from plastics and petroleum derivatives. Here's another item from Melbourne's The Age, with a call by unions to allow firefighters to claim cancer on insurance for work.

It seems logical that with modern homes and buildings containing plastics, that firefighters could inhale a lot of toxic fumes and particles if they are not wearing sealed suits on arrival at fire scenes.

Australia's firefighters union discovered that there was actually a campaign against their claims!
