How global warming turns the climate against the lungs

Heatwaves killing thousands of Europeans every summer, desert dust settling over cities that have never seen a desert, and floodwaters destroying entire valleys, leaving mouldy homes: The effects of global warming on lung health are becoming ever more apparent. At the European Respiratory Society’s ERS Congress in Barcelona, experts discussed how extreme heat, dust storms, and flooding impact healthcare. The session's speakers went on to detail not only the scale of the damage, but also the concrete policy and clinical responses already showing results.
