These areas have been identified as highly absorptive and more permeable than other areas of skin. [Spotsylvania County Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management](http://www.spotsylvania.va.us/content/20925/20965/default.aspx) recently purchased the H41 Interceptor™ Hoods and were not disappointed. This particulate barrier hood is scientifically-tested to block 98% of carcinogenic particulates. “Our department continues to implement new technologies and practices to protect responders as they work to serve our community. These new hoods are composed of materials that not only protect our firefighters from fire and heat, but also help protect them from cancer causing microparticle carcinogens,” they shared in a [Facebook post.](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1770407876367254&id=598380926903294) For more information about the H41 Interceptor™ Hood, available in the [Interceptor Package**™**](https://www.firedex.com/interceptorpackage/), visit [firedex.com/product/h41-interceptor/](https://www.firedex.com/product/h41-interceptor/).
