Dr. Jeff Burgess, UA Associate Dean for Research in the College of Public Health, researches the exposure firefighters encounter when they first start their careers, to the end of their service. Dr. Burgess’ research has already been used to help the Tucson Fire Department, who are working with other local groups to assemble wash kits used to limit the exposure of first responders to cancer causing chemicals.
