This study examines the link between urinary PAH metabolites and liver enzyme levels, indicating potential health risks for firefighters.

Elevated urinary 2-naphthol levels are linked to increased abnormal ALT levels in firefighters, indicating potential liver damage.
Firefighters in the highest quartile for urinary 2-naphthol had a 2.00 odds ratio for abnormal ALT levels compared to the lowest quartile.
Multivariable linear regression analyses showed a correlation between PAH metabolites and elevated liver enzymes, focusing on 2-naphthol.
Monitoring PAH exposure among firefighters may be crucial for protecting liver health, especially due to their occupational risks.

Lee et al. (2025) studied this question.
