Understanding Climate Change and Lung Health Climate change is a pressing global issue, with far-reaching consequences that extend beyond environmental degradation. It has direct and indirect impacts on public health, particularly lung health. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, air quality is increasingly compromised by pollutants such as particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. These pollutants, often exacerbated by human activities like industrial emissions and deforestation, are known contributors to respiratory diseases. The connection between climate change and lung health is multifaceted, involving the interaction of environmental, social, and biological factors. Understanding this connection is crucial for developing…
