Abstract
The increasingly longer
and more severe wildfire smoke events in the Pacific
Northwest are likely to occur during outdoor athletic
events. We investigated wildfire smoke concerns,
air quality communication preferences, and protective
action behaviors among sporting event attendees
through a survey created by our interdisciplinary research
team from the UO. This report presents survey
results and implications for improving communication
and protocol for air quality and smoke during
future outdoor athletic events.
