May is National COPD Awareness Month.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the lungs in which the airways become narrowed. It is a smoking-related respiratory illness, commonly known as chronic bronchitis or emphysema. The inflammatory response is diagnosed clinically when people regularly cough up sputum.
Health care professionals use this event to educate their patients about this disease and how it is treated. The best way to reduce the number of deaths by COPD is through no smoking campaigns. But other factors are important too: Air pollution, occupational exposures (found in coal mining, for example), genetics, etc.
