Clean air fight: special study shields vulnerable lungs from wildfire smoke
NCT ID NCT07118189
Summary
This pilot study tests whether providing air cleaners to high-risk COPD patients can reduce their exposure to wildfire smoke and prevent dangerous lung flare-ups. Researchers are working with 20 oxygen-dependent, non-smoking Kaiser Permanente patients aged 65+ who have frequent COPD exacerbations. The study measures if the air cleaners are practical to use and effective at improving indoor air quality during wildfire seasons.
