lung diseases  

Définition

  • Many factors are associated with the risk of developing a disease of the respiratory system, including genetics and birth factors such as prematurity, but environmental factors also play a major role. Exposure to chemical and particulate pollutants has been shown to be strongly connected to the risk of certain respiratory system diseases that are otherwise rare: examples include tobacco smoke and lung cancer, asbestos and mesothelioma, and flavoring chemicals and bronchiolitis obliterans.
