Plymovent is proud to announce an upcoming webinar titled “Clearing the Air: Understanding the Dangers of Diesel Exhaust in the Fire Service”, designed to educate and raise awareness about the significant health risks posed by diesel exhaust exposure in fire stations. This free webinar will take place on Thursday, April 3, 2025 at 12pm EST.
A Critical Health and Safety Concern
Diesel exhaust is a known carcinogen, and prolonged exposure is a major concern for firefighters, who are already at increased risk for cancer and respiratory illnesses. The webinar aims to address these dangers, explore effective mitigation strategies, and highlight best practices for creating a safer work environment.
Expert Panel and In-Depth Discussion
The webinar will feature a panel of industry experts, including but not limited to:
Participants will gain insights into the latest research, technology, and safety protocols that can reduce diesel exhaust exposure in firehouses.

In buildings where welding is carried out, temperature control and problems of airborne contamination are important, and the provision of clean air increases. Although fresh air is usually supplied by general ventilation, the sole use of general ventilation for airborne pollutant control in welding is usually ineffective.
Removing turnout gear immediately after fighting a fire can greatly reduce skin absorption of cancer-causing compounds, according to a study from the University of Ottawa.
To extract welding fumes and protect the welder, at source ventilation is always the most efficient and safe way. In addition, all kinds of measures can be taken to reduce welding fumes and its risks.
