Firefighters Face Heart Problems From Chemical Exposures, Stress: Study Researchers detected a dose-response relationship between the number of fires firefighters battled and their risk of heart problems, which is considered a strong indicator of a causal relationship. March 29, 2022 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments The findings of a new study indicate there is a link between being a firefighter and heart problems, including atrial fibrillation and other cardiac risks which may result from chemical exposures. Louisiana State University researchers indicate in a report published this month in the Journal of the American Heart Association that the more fires a firefighter fights, the more likely he or she will develop atrial fibrillation, which causes irregular heart rhythms. Firefighters have long been known to face an increased risk of health problems, including heart disease. This is often accredited to their exposure to fire, smoke, and a wide variety of toxic chemicals; not only those released by fire and combustion, but also those present in their gear. In fact, chemical and safety equipment manufacturers now face a growing number of firefighting cancer lawsuits nationwide, involving allegations that exposure to chemicals in safety equipment and aqueous film-forming foams led to the development of cancer and other health risks. In this latest study, researchers specifically looked to see if occupational exposures were contributing to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, which can lead to blood clots, heart failure and strokes, among firefighters.

Lawyers are reviewing aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) lawsuits for firefighters, military personnel and individuals who developed cancer or other health issues from exposure to toxic firefighting foam chemicals. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION The researchers looked at data from the REDCap database gathered between October 2018 and December 2019, involving survey data from nearly 11,000 active firefighters. Overall, the study found that firefighters face a 14% increase in the risk of atrial fibrillation, even after other potentially contributing factors were considered. The researchers also discovered that the more fires firefighters fought, the higher their risk. This is known as a dose-response relationship, and is considered strong evidence of a causal relationship. The researchers noted that inhalation and skin absorption of harmful chemical compounds is likely the main driver of these increased heart risks. “Clinicians who care for firefighters need to be aware of the increased cardiovascular risk, especially the increased risk of AFib, among this unique group of individuals,” Dr. Paari Dominic, lead author of the study, said in a press release. “The conditions that elevate their risk further, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, lung disease and sleep apnea, should be treated aggressively. In addition, any symptoms of AFib, such as palpitations, trouble breathing, dizziness and fatigue, should be investigated promptly.” Tags: Atrial Fibrillation, Chemicals, Firefighter, Firefighter Foam, Heart Rhythm, PFAS Find Out If You Qualify for A AFFF Lawsuit Settlement More Firefighting Foam Lawsuit Stories PFAS Exposure During Pregnancy Linked to High Blood Pressure in Children: Study June 26, 2025 PFAS Drinking Water Lawsuit Filed by 16 Plaintiffs Over Testicular Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Ulcerative Colitis Side Effects June 23, 2025 AFFF Chemicals May Accelerate Spread of Cancer, Reduce Drug Effectiveness: Study June 13, 2025 2 Comments Cheryl September 13, 2023 I think the exposure to the pfas definitely would cause Heart disease poisoning tissues and disrupting normal function Yes sudden on and off stress and sleep patterns may contribute but when there are actual medical diagnoses of diseases as in the case of my Fiancee, He was a Volunteer Fireman for years and He was driving a Firetruck in Parade and He suddenly got dizzy passed out Lucky to have Ambulance right in front of him rushed to ER later found AFib and for the years thereafter His conditions multiplied He goes in for yet another Heart procedure in a couple of weeks Also as Aneurism Khristina June 30, 2023 What about exposure to loud alarms sounding, waking us from a deep sleep instantaneously? Or having to be awake, dressed, and responding within 3 minutes at 2 am? Can those factors have played a part in my development of a heart condition? Yes, I was exposed to AFFF on a daily basis for years, but I’m more convinced it was the sudden change from rest to race with no time to prepare that caused most of my issues. I’m just curious if I’m the only one who feels this way or are there others who have developed heart conditions as a result of firefighting activities.
