N95 Masks for Lung Health While Golfing During Wildfire Season
Sponsor: University of Saskatchewan
Summary
Lung health is negatively affected during wildfire season by increased smoke pollution. Wearing N95 masks protects lung health in the short-term. The purpose of our study is to assess whether wearing of N95 facemasks on days with moderate to high air pollution in people who go outside to golf on a regular basis (two or more times per week) for two months during the wildfire season projects lung health.
