One severe consequence of exposure to polluted air is the increased risk of lung cancer. Tiny airborne particles can infiltrate the lungs, elevating the risk of developing cancer. Understanding the influence of air quality on the risk of lung cancer is crucial in efforts for prevention and health protection.

COPD involves long-term narrowing of the airways, usually caused by two main conditions: chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Major risk factors for COPD include smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, and exposure to pollution.

Humidifiers can provide much-needed additional humidity, especially when the air feels dry. Air that is too dry can cause various health issues such as coughs and colds. Maintaining indoor air humidity at a healthy level can help prevent respiratory problems.

Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to public health globally. Residential pollution, fossil fuels, transport, waste burning, chemical and mining industries are the main human-made sources of fine particles globally that pollute our air. Air pollution and climate change are closely linked as all major pollutants have an impact on the climate. Improving our air quality will bring health, development, and environmental benefits.

Smoking leaves odors and poisons on clothes, rooms, and objects around smokers. This endangers other family members because they have close contact with household furniture that has been contaminated with various toxic substances from cigarettes.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) especially in health facilities is very important to note, not only for comfort but also for the health of patients and health workers on duty. Poor indoor air quality can have an impact on health.

Olfactory training is a non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment option for patients with olfactory dysfunction. Patients undergoing olfactory training expose themselves to 4 different odors twice daily for at least 24 weeks.
