Air pollution is a major risk factor for various lung-related illnesses. Since the lungs are constantly exposed to the air we breathe, the quality of that air is critical to overall lung health. The impact of poor air quality affects all age groups, but it is especially severe for women, children, and the elderly. Those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are disproportionately affected, as they are more likely to be exposed to both indoor and outdoor air pollution.
