Overview

Experimental analysis reveals material composition and height zone influence pollutant sorption in firefighter garments, suggesting targets for improved protective gear design.

Key Points

  • Sorption processes of toxic substances depend significantly on fabric composition and vertical height zones, altering chemical barrier protection across gear.
  • Assessment of firefighter garment textiles evaluated the uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons across distinct clothing elements and height positions.
  • Highlights the need to modify specialized protective textiles to reduce toxicity and carcinogenicity from smoke deposits while refining washing protocols.
