OBJECTIVE
This study assesses the health symptoms and longer-term health outcomes of firefighters who attended the Grenfell Tower fire.
METHODS
All available data sources were analyzed, including databases published by the Public Inquiry, the Firefighter Cancer and Disease Registry, incident logs, and sickness reports up to 3 years postfire.
RESULTS
More than three times as many firefighters who reported exposure to smoke during the fire also reported digestive and respiratory diseases following the fire, compared with those not reporting exposure to smoke. Other more complex relationships are reported among smoke exposure, immediate health symptoms, and longer-term health outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS
The incident's urgency led professional firefighters to operate without respiratory protection equipment, resulting in debilitating health effects.
目的
本研究评估了参与格伦费尔塔火灾救援的消防员的健康症状及长期健康状况。
方法
分析了所有可用的数据源，包括公众调查发布的数据库、消防员癌症与疾病登记册、事件日志以及火灾发生后3年内的病假报告。
结果
报告在火灾中接触烟雾的消防员，火灾后报告患有消化和呼吸系统疾病的人数是未报告接触烟雾的消防员的三倍多。报告了烟雾暴露、即时健康症状和长期健康状况之间其他更复杂的关系。
结论
事件的紧迫性导致职业消防员在没有呼吸防护设备的情况下作业，从而产生了使人衰弱的健康影响。
