CHICAGO, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impacts 11.7 million people living in the U.S. While smoking is a significant risk factor for the disease, long-term exposure to dust, chemicals, fumes and vapors from the workplace may also lead to COPD. To help people identify workplace risk factors and encourage them to speak with their healthcare provider if they are experiencing symptoms, the American Lung Association is launching a campaign to raise awareness for occupational COPD. 

Key Points: 
  • While smoking is a significant risk factor for the disease, long-term exposure to dust, chemicals, fumes and vapors from the workplace may also lead to COPD.
  • COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is a long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe.
  • Many workplaces may expose workers to risk factors for COPD, but the leading job types that increase risk for chronic lung disease include agriculture, mining and manufacturing.
  • Early treatment of a chronic lung disease, including reducing the exposure, can help lead to better health outcomes.
