Boise State Public Radio: Research aims to shield Idaho nursing home residents from wildfire smoke
Luke Montrose is leading a research study to see how fires are affecting air quality for residents. He’s an environmental toxicologist, and used to be based at Boise State University; now he’s an assistant professor at Colorado State University. Montrose recognized that those over 65 are at greater risk from wildfire smoke due to pre-existing heart and lung conditions.
