Smoking, smog, clay stove and fireplace causing obstruction of breath
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occurs due to prolonged respiratory obstruction. One crore 30 lakh people in the country suffer from COPD. Women and men above the age of 35 years are prone to the disease. Surprisingly, the main reason for this disease is smoking, smog, pollution, fireplace and clay stove. Oxygen is reaching the lungs of 62 percent of men and 38 percent of women, but carbon dioxide does not come out. It has a direct effect on the lungs, which can be killed even if we do not pay attention to it.
COPD has become a matter of concern all over the country. Therefore, World COPD Day is observed every third Wednesday of November every year. The theme this time is the many faces of COPD. Previously smoking has been considered to be the cause of the above disease but with time the reasons giving rise to the disease have increased. In rural areas, women use fireplace and clay stove. The smoke emanating from it passes through the breath directly into the lungs, causing them to have trouble breathing. Now smog and pollution in cities are also making the said disease effective. Poisonous smoke emanating from industries and vehicles, when the smoke of straw is mixed in the mist, then smog is formed. Through the breath, it is also reaching our lungs and causing harm. Therefore, to keep oneself healthy, health checkup should be done. With the intake of a healthy diet the mouth and nose should also be covered.
