Resumen

REY, Darío R. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Not Always Related to Smoking. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.4, pp.250-256. ISSN 1852-236X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.56538/ramr.sswq1005.

There are a lot of risks unrelated to tobacco that can cause COPD, so the burden of non-smoking COPD is much greater than previously thought. In the Third World countries, there is a significant number of non-tobacco-related risk agents capable of causing COPD.

The pathogenesis of COPD and its relationship with occupational exposure to dust, gases, and fumes is not fully understood. Further experimental and epidemiological research on a larger scale is needed to confirm the relationship between these two variables.

Approximately 15 % of COPD is related to work, and aggravated by smoking. New agents causing COPD continue to be reported and published.

Women exhibit a different clinical manifestation of COPD and, under similar exposures, are more prone to developing the disease compared to men.

Personal protection for workers is of particular importance since it is challenging to as sess the nature of dust, smoke, or gases, their ambient concentration, and the duration of the exposure.

Palabras clave : COPD; Biomass; Tasks.
