Millions of people suffer from COPD, a chronic lung disease caused by indoor and outdoor air pollution, second-hand smoke, or smoking. This places a heavy burden on individuals and the planet, yet stigma prevents people from seeking care. Greater understanding can encourage screenings, improve care, and save lives. It's time for governments to prioritise COPD and mortality reduction by developing and funding national respiratory strategies.

For #COPDAwarenessMonth, it is important to understand what can cause COPD. COPD usually develops because of long-term damage to your lungs from breathing in a harmful substance. This is usually cigarette smoke. But COPD can also be caused from exposure to smoke from other sources and air pollution. Jobs where people are exposed to dust, fumes and chemicals can also contribute to developing COPD. You’re most likely to develop COPD if: 🔹you’re over 35 🔹you are, or have been, a smoker, or 🔹you had chest problems as a child. Some people are more affected than others by breathing in harmful substances. COPD does seem to run in families, so if your parents had chest problems then your own risk is higher. #CommunityAmbulanceService #CareConnectedtoCommunity
