The burning of wood, the smoke can cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD ). Doctors warn of lung German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) in Werne, citing a recent U.S. study. "Smoking should absolutely refrain from using wood fires for heating or cooking, stay not possible at bonfires or open fires and land avoid, in which common wood fire burned down," advises Dieter Köhler, head of the pulmonary clinic Kloster Grafschaft in Schmallenberg. That may cause
the chronic inhalation of wood fire smoke a so-called smoker's bronchitis, doctors knew so far, especially from developing countries, is cooked in homes where open fires. Now researchers from New Mexico were at more than 1,800 smokers and ex-smokers that this smoke also increases in industrial countries, the risk for lung diseases. The higher the burden of the participants with the smoke was, the more they suffered from airway constriction and chronic bronchitis. There was also evidence of an increased risk of lung cancer.
wood fire smoke damaged, especially the lung function of active smokers. "Anyone who smokes tobacco and wood smoke are burdened with fire is an increased production of mucus in the airways has on and a more impaired lung function and was estimated by the researchers at increased fourfold COPD risk", says Koehler. "Both factors work together, they seem to have a much greater damage than any triggering factor alone."
