De-Wipe
After Fire Equipment Decontamination Wipes
Reduce the Risk of Exposure to Carcinogens by Wipe Decontamination after Fire Service
Fires involve the combustion of numerous synthetic materials commonly found in buildings, such as plastics, foams, insulation, and furniture. These materials release toxic chemicals and carcinogens such as PAHs when burned and they can settle on their PPE like SCBA, helmet, etc. If not decontaminated properly, these contaminants remain on PPE and can be absorbed through the respiratory organs or the skin. Prolonged exposure to these substances is reported that it increases the risk of developing various types of cancer.
AThe UK study analysing the records of firefighters between the ages of 30-74 has demonstrated that firefighters' mortality rate is 1.6 times higher than the general population. It also shows the mortality rates for certain types of cancer such as Prostate and Leukaemia are more than three times higher (*).

De-Wipe Decontamination Wipes are an 'after the fire' wipes to use on equipment which has been designed and tested to provide immediate and long-lasting protection from hazardous contaminants.
