Abstract :

Air pollution and climate change have been linked in studies to the human respiratory syncytial virus, which causes seasonal acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis. As winter draws near, many people experience a range of respiratory issues as the temperature drops. Inflammation of the bronchial passageways is the hallmark of bronchitis, a common condition that is sometimes exacerbated by the winter months. Although bronchitis can occur at any time of year, research indicates that chilly temperatures and fog appear to have a unique way of initiating and intensifying the symptoms of the condition. In the winter season, there happens to be an increase in the instances of bronchitis, especially chronic bronchitis or flare-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cold, chilly weather and indoor dry air's increased ratio of respiratory infections are the key factors that can worsen or trigger bronchitis symptoms. In this extension article, we'll talk about the link between bronchitis, fog, and cold weather, as well as the reasons why individuals should exercise extra caution throughout the winter.
