Breathing Through the Haze: Research Continues to Tackle Health Impact of Wildfire Smoke

Wildfire smoke poses a growing public health threat, with harmful pollutants like PM2.5 linked to respiratory and cardiovascular issues. This blog explores the health impacts of wildfire smoke, highlights recent research advancements, and showcases innovative tools like DSI’s inhalation exposure systems and telemetry solutions. Discover how these technologies are helping researchers uncover the mechanisms behind smoke-related health risks and develop interventions to protect vulnerable populations.

Understanding Lung Fibrosis and the Future of Noninvasive Research Techniques

Lung fibrosis is a serious condition that limits lung function, and traditional research methods often rely on invasive techniques. However, Whole Body Plethysmography (WBP) offers a noninvasive solution for tracking fibrosis progression over time. This method allows researchers to monitor lung function in animal models without terminal procedures, providing valuable insights for developing effective treatments and understanding disease development.
