As part of my science communications graduate assistantship with the RESPIRAR Project, I produced this blog post highlighting insights on indoor air quality and farmworker safety during the 2023 Canadian wildfire.
The findings from our data analysis underscore the severity and far-reaching effects of wildfire smoke, especially when compounded by a preexisting poor baseline of indoor air quality.
