    Author: Fishwick D, Barber CM, Darby AC.
    Journal: Chron Respir Dis; 2010; 7(2):113-22. PubMed ID: 20185481.
    Abstract:
    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disease associated with increasing morbidity and mortality worldwide. Whilst tobacco smoking is the important cause, other causes are recognized. This article discusses the contribution that harmful inhaled occupational exposures make to the overall burden of COPD, and goes on to discuss other aspects of the COPD workplace interface. Prevention is key. All healthcare professionals have a responsibility to consider workplace issues when dealing with their COPD patients.
