Texas enacts the Wade Cannon Act to protect firefighters from cancer-causing chemicals in gear and foam.
The Wade Cannon Act, enacted in Texas, aims to protect firefighters from long-term health risks linked to exposure to hazardous chemicals like PFAS, benzene, and naphthalene.
These substances, found in firefighting foams, mothballs, and cigarette smoke, can penetrate protective gear and are tied to cancers and other serious illnesses.
The law promotes safer equipment, improved decontamination, and greater awareness of exposure sources, reflecting a broader effort to reduce occupational hazards for first responders.
