Forbes Hall

Speaker: Angela Eykelbosh, PhD, Environmental Health Scientist, Island Health

As our climate becomes warmer and drier, the increased frequency of droughts and wildfires will have implications for air quality both inside and outside our homes. This session will provide an overview of recent climate projections for Thetis Island and Penelakut and will discuss the implications for respiratory health. We will discuss some practical options for reducing exposure to particulate matter, using tools such as low-cost sensors, air cleaners (including DIY air cleaners), and clean wood burning practices.

A presentation of the Forbes Hall Health Services Group.
