Climate Change and Lung Health Fact Sheets

Jun 14, 2019 | Michelle Shapiro

The American Lung Association (ALA) released two new fact sheets about how drought, wildfires, heat, flooding, pollution, and other effects of climate change are threatening lung health. The first covers what you need to know about the health risks of climate change for people with lung disease. The second has tips for people with lung disease to better protect themselves from the health risks of climate change.
