Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ

 

Every summer in Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ there is the threat of wildfires throughout the state. This year Mount Spur is also threatening to send volcanic ash into the air. Exposure to wildfire smoke is linked to respiratory problems, heart disease, and even premature death. Wildfire smoke and ash can greatly affect air quality and have health implications especially for those with asthma and lung conditions.

Join host Dr. Clark to explore the health effects and epidemiology of wildfire smoke, examining how it affects communities and what measures can help protect us.

Guests:

• Dr. Micah Hahn - Environmental epidemiologist
• Dr. Jon Grace - Pulmonologist
