Respondents were queried concerning asthma-related history, symptoms, and environmental concerns. Of 2,790 respondents, 12% reported physician-diagnosed asthma. Eighteen percent reported one or more and 9% reported two or more asthma-related symptoms. Over 70% of asthmatics reported worsened asthma symptoms during wildland-fire smoke exposure. Of those reporting summer as the season they experienced the greatest breathing problems, 81% reported breathing problems from wildland-fire smoke (p < 0.01). Of those reporting worsened symptoms in fall or winter, 61% reported breathing problems during winter inversions (p < 0.001). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
