Emphysema and COPD can also be caused by breathing in foreign matter in the air. People who work in garment factories, mines, or who live in places with high PM2.5 counts can also develop these airway maladies. As the climate continues to change and air quality worsens, we will all need to better protect our airways.
Good information. Thank you.
