Health Effects on Lungs

This overview covers the health effects on lungs, focusing on asthma, altitude, and smoking. Asthma, influenced by environmental triggers like smoke, pollen, and dust, causes airway swelling and excess mucus production, impacting breathing. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) is also discussed, highlighting how fluid accumulation in the lungs inhibits oxygen exchange. Understanding these conditions is crucial for improving respiratory health and addressing related environmental justice issues.
