World Lung
World Lung Day is a commemorative date dedicated to raising awareness about lung health and respiratory diseases. Celebrated on September 25 , this day aims to highlight the importance of healthy lungs and promote the prevention and treatment of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, lung cancer, tuberculosis and respiratory infections. Lung Day is promoted by several health organizations, such as the European Lung Foundation (ELF) and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases (The Union). These organizations strive to draw attention to risk factors that affect lung health, such as smoking, air pollution, infections and occupational exposures.
