Exhaled breath concentrations of benzene (ppbv) over time for 36 firefighters (distributed evenly among 3 crews, 4 fires per crew) assigned to a attack or search, b outside vent, c command/pump, or d backup/overhaul or RIT/overhaul. Note that firefighters were reassigned after first two fires. Immediate post-firefighting concentrations were statistically different from pre-firefighting concentrations (p < 0.05) for firefighters assigned to attack and search, outside vent, and overhaul
