Comparing health effects of wood smoke and traffic pollution
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing in wood smoke or traffic pollution affects your health. You'll be exposed to both in a controlled setting, and the results may help understand the risks of air pollution.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 40 years old.
- You are generally healthy with no history of lung or airway disease.
- You have never smoked cigarettes or used e-cigarettes (vaping).
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the study.

This study tests whether a special diet can help protect lungs from the effects of woodsmoke. If you join, you'll eat provided meals for several weeks while researchers check your breathing.
This study looks at how breathing wildfire smoke affects healthy adults. It may help understand who is at risk and how to protect communities during wildfire season.
This study tests whether using air purifiers can improve health by reducing pollution from nearby traffic. Participants will receive air purifiers for their homes and answer questions about their health.
This study exposes healthy adults to diesel fumes to see how it affects inflammation (the body’s response to irritation) and blood vessels over time. It may help researchers understand health risks from diesel air pollution, though it is not for people with existing chronic health conditions.
This study looks at how firefighting affects your lungs over time. By tracking your health and exposures, researchers hope to find ways to prevent lung problems in firefighters.
This study tests whether inhaled corticosteroids (a common type of COPD inhaler) can help reduce the harmful effects of air pollution on your lungs. If you have mild to moderate COPD, joining this trial could show how well your current treatment protects you from everyday air pollution.
