New device to reveal how wildfire smoke affects wildlife

Original: Novel device will help show how wildfire smoke impacts wildlife

Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a novel device designed to measure how wildfire smoke affects wild animals, a topic that has remained largely unstudied compared with human health impacts. Announced via a EurekAlert! release, the tool could help scientists understand smoke exposure in wildlife as wildfires grow more frequent and intense across North America and beyond.

Why now: Interest in wildlife health is rising as wildfire seasons intensify, and new research tools on an understudied topic draw scientific and media attention.
