With wildfires already scorching the West, this Missoula Current column focuses on special activities associated with a recent first-ever Wildfire Smoke Ready Week in Missoula, Montana. Using the latest climate change headlines as a starting point, the authors recommend things residents can do to mitigate the effects of wildfire smoke, the most significant source of air pollution in their area and a serious health threat. Quoted in the story is Kim Cobb, Georgia Power Chair and ADVANCE Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
