00:00 Dr. Srinivas Rajagopala, Senior Pulmonologist at Kauvery Hospital, Chennai, talks about the various factors affecting lung function and the lung diseases they might lead to.
0:15 Smoking: Despite the awareness of the ill effects of smoking, people still do smoke. Smoking leads to bronchitis, COPD, and cancer.
1:25 Passive Smoking: This refers to the inhalation of the smoke released by a smoking person. Research has shown that this emitted smoke can damage the lungs even more than actual smoking.
2:45 Air pollution, especially during winter, can result in lung damage. This is because particulate matter and harmful gases stay in the air longer in winter.
4:25 Asbestos: Construction workers involved in demolishing old buildings can be exposed to asbestos. Asbestos is a fiber that can penetrate the lungs easily and cause various conditions.
5:50 Pet and Pigeon Exposure: Hair from pets and pigeon feces can lead to hypersensitive pneumonitis. Water in old humidifiers can also have fungus in it, which can affect the lungs.
