(see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).

Emphysema is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Some emphysema is caused by the

absence of a protective enzyme. Chronic exposure to environmental pollutants can also
as as as as as as as as as as as as
contribute to the development of emphysema.

Agents or events that cause an asthmatic episode are called triggers (see Box 1-7, Chapter
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as

as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
common triggers include exposure to air pollutants and exercise in cold or dry air.
