#329 CE-Certified Undergarments protecting Firefighters skin against carcinogenic fire gases with Thomas Dedering CEO of CPP Garments
Today’s podcast with Thomas Dedering revolves around the topic of firefighters' exposure to toxic fire effluents and the need for protective clothing. We discuss common misconceptions, the gap in the market for protective solutions, and the role of organizations like the Swedish Firefighters Cancer Foundation. We also delve into the testing and technology behind the CPP undergarment, which uses activated carbon to absorb hazardous fire gases.
We explore the application of this protective clothing in the fire and rescue service and the importance of protecting vulnerable groups. We also discuss the effectiveness of a protective undergarment for firefighters that can reduce exposure to toxic fire effluents.
The undergarment is made with activated carbon and is designed to capture and retain harmful substances. We also touch on the challenges of purchasing and distributing the undergarment, particularly for UK services. The potential for collaboration with turnout gear manufacturers, as well as the importance of proper washing and decontamination processes.
