Wildfire smoke study aims to protect aging hearts with indoor air cleaners
NCT ID NCT07539987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using portable air cleaners and other indoor air quality measures can lower the risk of heart disease in older adults (ages 55-79) living in Montana, where wildfires are common. Participants will use air cleaning devices at home, and researchers will track changes in their heart health scores over time. The goal is to see if improving indoor air can help prevent cardiovascular problems.
