Prolonged exposure to smoke can exacerbate respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, leading to increased ED visits and hospitalizations. This article examines the significant health risks associated with air pollution, particularly chronic diseases and acute respiratory conditions, and discusses the emergency treatment of acute respiratory distress from exposure.
