Environment and Lung Health

Environmental factors can affect those with lung diseases and respiratory conditions.

Lung irritation triggers

  • Air pollution
  • Pollen
  • Smoke from seasonal wildfires
  • Smoking
  • Exposure to second-hand smoke

In California, and in other warm and tropical locations, increased warmth leads to more blooming and this can make it even more difficult for COPD and Asthma patients to breathe.
