Exposure to toxins while on the job is a serious concern for firefighters. Repeated contact with harmful chemicals can have lasting adverse impacts on health, and can lead to illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, and may cause birth defects. Turnouts are designed to protect a firefighter from many of those toxins; however, cleaning the gear itself has proven to be a challenge – until now. Mike Duyck, Vice President of Emergency Technical Decon (ETD), joins us to discuss the science behind liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) cleaning of firefighter turnout gear, and why it is gentler, more efficient, and over 99% effective.
