Getting to know your device
Respiratory diseases caused by air pollution
Air pollution is one of the main causes of respiratory diseases.
Around 95% of the world’s population lives in areas with polluted air. The air we breathe today, especially in urban cities, is far removed from what we think to be “healthy” or “clean”. Urban areas often provide very low air quality, so many asthmatics in Germany find respite in trips to the North and Baltic Sea.
