Comparing health effects of wood smoke and traffic pollution
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how wood smoke and traffic pollution affect your health. Healthy adults who don't smoke and have no lung problems can join to help researchers understand the risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 19 and 40 years old.
- You are generally healthy and have never had a lung condition like asthma or COPD.
- You have never smoked or vaped.

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 uses AI to see how air pollution and climate affect your breathing, focusing on pollen allergies. If you have chronic nasal symptoms during pollen season, you may help researchers understand these links better.
This trial looks at how diesel exhaust exposure can change how well asthma “steroid” medicine works in your body. It may help researchers understand why some asthma symptoms are harder to control and guide better treatment strategies.
This study examines how wildfire smoke affects healthy adults' lungs and overall health. Researchers will monitor participants during wildfire season to understand who may be most vulnerable and how communities value air quality protection.
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 tests ways to improve air quality inside homes located near heavy traffic. Researchers want to see if cleaner indoor air helps people with heart disease risk factors feel better and stay healthier.
