Event

The contribution of environmental and occupational exposures to the burden of many common lung diseases is under appreciated. Failure to recognize these contributions can lead to misdiagnosis or suboptimal treatment. Many clinicians are often unsure of how to respond to patient questions regarding whether exposures caused their lung disease. This highly interactive session will provide a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of environmental and occupational lung diseases, teach clinicians about environmental contributors to common lung diseases, and update the audience on emerging exposure related lung diseases.
