Lung Health
Lung conditions can affect our ability to breathe and how well the lungs work.
There are many different lung conditions, some of which are caused by bacterial, viral or fungal infections. Others may be linked to environmental factors, including asthma, mesothelioma and lung cancer.
Chronic lower respiratory diseases is a set of conditions that includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
