Hear hear @WHO: how about updating your video on air pollution and health impacts, which omits entirely COPD https://t.co/QUKe5qvFlP? https://t.co/DuREUzzxVC

[UK Health Alliance on Climate Change @UKHealthClimate]

Indoor and outdoor #airpollution both have strong links to COPD. People who are regularly exposed to air pollution also have a higher risk of getting COPD.

COPD: disease or syndrome?
"COPD is not just one single entity, but rather a complex and heterogeneous one that may result from different causative agents that run different clinical courses and may benefit from some common therapies" https://t.co/lZIK9RCzHP

It is interesting to note that WHO hardly ever communicates on COPD but @EU_Commission is now: environment Commissioner mentions COPD when talking about air quality https://t.co/JdOdwTaHoC
