  • Considering the excess morbidity and mortality associated with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), there is considerable interest in directing research at identifying modifiable risk factors. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is estimated as the fifth leading cause of global morbidity. The total deaths from COPD are projected to increase by more than 30% in the next 10 years. 85-90% of COPD related mortality is attributable to cigarette smoking. A not negligible proportion of the disease occurs in persons who have never smoked, and other risk factors than smoking may play an important role in pathogenesis and development of chronic bronchitis, asthma, and impaired lung function. Air pollution is one of the major environmental risk factors for the occurrence/exacerbation of CRD. CRD are associated with exposure to different pollutants (e.g. particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2)). Indoor environments contribute significantly to human exposure to air pollutants. Indoor air pollution is globally ranked tenth among preventable risk factors causing disease burden. Between 1.5 and 2 million deaths per year are attributed to indoor air pollution, with a significant part due to COPD. (literal)
