ATS Recognizes World Pneumonia Day and World COPD Day 2020
Today, the ATS joins the Forum of International Respiratory Societies in (FIRS) in recognizing World COPD Day. COPD is currently the third leading cause of death globally and is highly prevalent in low resource countries. Exposure to tobacco smoke and other inhaled toxic particles and gases are the main risk factors for COPD, although recent research has identified that suboptimal lung growth before and after birth can also increase the risk of COPD later in life.
Last week, on Nov. 12, the ATS and FIRS recognized World Pneumonia Day. Pneumonia is the single biggest infectious killer of adults and children – claiming the lives of 2.5 million, including 672,000 children, in 2019. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted the danger of pneumonia particularly in adults, with almost 47 million cases globally and 1.2 million deaths to date.
