Chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke, particularly wood smoke, has been identified as a significant risk factor for various respiratory conditions, including respiratory infections in children, chronic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (4-7). These conditions are of great global concern, given their high prevalence, substantial morbidity and mortality rates (8).}, publisher = {Universidad de La Sabana}, title = {Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) related to wood smoke: an analytical sociodemographic, clinical, functional, imaging, and biomarkers profile characterization in comparison with tobacco smoke COPD.}, author = {Torres Duque, Carlos Arturo}, }
