  • Resumen

  • In this episode I go deep on the health effects of wildfire smoke, answering some key questions that are relevant to recreational athletes, outdoors professionals, wildland firefighters, and industrial athletes alike:

    Why is wildfire smoke harmful?
    Is there a safe level of exposure?
    Can we trust the EPA's guideline levels? (Spoiler: no)
    Does the benefit of exercise outweigh the damage of smoke exposure?
    If you have to be outside, how can you limit harms?

    And more. Get ready for a trip down nerd lane.
