The world's foremost experts on COPD - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - are set to gather in Philadelphia and online next month to hear the latest on research and treatment.
Years ago, COPD was almost exclusively linked to cigarette smoking.
Smoking is still a major cause, but wood, animal waste and other biomass fuels are also a major cause."Coupled with poor neonatal development, poor nutrition, etc., that can lead to chronic lung disease," says Dr. Criner. "There is a new and growing potential for environmental changes that can manifest itself causing lung injury," he says.
And this year, in conjunction with the COPD Foundation, there'll be a free session for patients and caregivers.
