متن کاملLung function changes in wildland firefighters working at prescribed burns.
CONTEXT Although decline in lung function across workshift has been observed in wildland firefighters, measurements have been restricted to days when they worked at fires. Consequently, such results could have been confounded by normal circadian variation associated with lung function. OBJECTIVES We investigated the across-shift changes in lung function of wildland firefighters, and the effec...
متن کاملPine Regeneration Following Wildland Fire
Pine regeneration following wildland fire continues to be a serious problem across the western and southeastern U.S. Frequency of large wildfires has increased over the last several decades and restoration of these burned areas is a major problem confronting land managers.
