Children’s Health and Wildfire Smoke Exposure Workshop Summary

The Children’s Health and Wildfire Smoke Exposure Workshop Summary provides brief but thorough summaries of the information and recommendations presented at the Children’s Health and Wildfire Smoke Workshop (May 2021). It is intended for parents, caregivers, health practitioners, educators, and policymakers who are seeking evidence-based information on reducing wildfire smoke exposure, improving indoor air quality, and ensuring effective communication during wildfire smoke events. Many presentations focus on indoor air quality in schools and how it impacts school activity guidelines.
