Air Pollution
The risk of developing COPD is much higher in developing countries and urban areas where pollution tends to be a major concern. Daily exposure to many substances in the environment would irritate the lungs and airways over time. Therefore, people in these areas might be more susceptible to respiratory conditions. While it is nearly impossible for a person to improve air pollution, there are some ways to reduce the possibilities. For instance, you should always cover your face when going out or use an air filter to clean the living space. [3]
