Firefighter Cancer
Cohort Study
An online resource center about PFAS contaminants in drinking water—helping communities understand their exposures and take action to protect their health.
Firefighter Cancer Cohort Study (FFCCS) gathers nationwide data on firefighter health. In partnership with the fire service aims to understand health impacts of exposures.

National Firefighter Registry
for Cancer
Center for Firefighter Safety, Health, & Well-Being
National PFAS
Testing Network
A registry to study cancer among firefighters. The NFR is open to all U.S. firefighters, not just those with a previous diagnosis of cancer.
A central point for engaging with the broad spectrum of research and service NIOSH conducts around firefighters.
