Figure 2.
Pulmonary function changes from predicted values. The graph depicts the changes to lung function (FEV1/FVC) in 2018 and 2019 following the Rice Ridge fire in Seeley Lake, MT. In both years following the 2017 exposure the observed (solid lines) was significantly lower than predicted (dashed) for males (* M, circles), while significantly lower in 2019 for the females (* F, triangles). In addition, the male values were significantly lower as compared to the observed values in 2017. (* p < 0.05 Observed vs. Predicted within Sex; †† p < 0.01 Significant compared to 2017 for corresponding group).
