World COPD Day | Respiratory Health | Dr. Mahesh Kudale - Your Friendly Doctor |

This "World COPD Day"
let's make ourselves and our upcoming generations aware and
implement COPD prevention measures/initiatives
COPD is a major cause of illness,
with an estimated 300 million cases worldwide,
and is the 3rd leading cause of death globally.
Let's understand about: COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
is a debilitating condition that obstructs
airflow from the lungs, thus hampering one's
ability to carry out day-to-day activities with ease.
There is no cure for COPD,
and the damaged lung tissue
doesn't repair itself.
But you can live with COPD &
its progression can be slowed down
by adopting a few lifestyle and environment changes.
Major Prevention Measure : Strictly Use Workplace Air Safety Gears in these situations of....
mineral dusts (coal mine dust, silica, asbestos),
organic dusts (cotton, wood, grains),
metal/welding fumes (cadmium),
diesel/engine exhaust fumes,
asphalt/tar fumes or vapors in road and roofing operations,
smoke from fires, and
other chemical gases or vapors.
