We believe that the future health of firefighters around the world is of paramount importance and the reality is that a simple, cost effective, on scene, decontamination protocol can and must be implemented by every firefighter.
DECON INTERNATIONAL has made it our mission to address this very real and world-wide firefighter health emergency through significant investment in research and development & scientific and dermatological validation of our products. DEKONMATE® Decontamination Products have been created to remove and limit exposure to contaminants, in particular, PAHs, OPFRs, PBDEs and metals such as Lead and Cadmium.
We are passionate about Firefighter health & safety and want to ensure that all our decontamination products really make a difference, not just claim to do so. This is why DECON INTERNATIONAL have undertaken extensive testing on all our products to ensure their effectiveness. Click here for References.
DEKONMATE products provide a comprehensive approach to firefighter decontamination through removing and limiting exposure to contaminants, in particular, PAHs, OPFRs, PBDEs and metals such as Lead and Cadmium.
PAHs
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are products of incomplete combustion that exist in both the particle and gas phases that firefighters are exposed to during firefighting operations. Exposure for firefighters is generally complex involving mixtures of particles and chemicals that include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
OPFRs & PBDEs
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame retardants in consumer goods and building materials to slow the development of a fire; yet are also released during combustion.
