How Wildfires Affect Air Quality And Protecting Student Athletes, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, even states not prone to wildfires can feel the effects of the flames on air quality. We’ll have a look at when to stay inside.

And, after a tragic head injury claimed the life of a young West Virginia football player last year, schools and medical experts across the state are teaming up. Together, they’re turning high tech in an effort to protect student athletes from traumatic brain injuries.
