Publisher's Summary
An authoritative, accessible guide to how our lungs work and how to protect them.
Most of us pay little attention to the workings of our lungs, but the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interest in their functioning and fear about the risks they face. Dr. MeiLan K. Han, a leading pulmonologist and a national spokesperson for the American Lung Association, takes listeners on a fascinating tour of this most vital organ.
Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body’s first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks - including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2 - and offers a practical guide to keeping lungs healthy. And with authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, she argues powerfully for a social policy that makes a priority of preserving lung health nationwide.
