Question Description
I’m studying and need help with a Biology question to help me learn.
Respond to the following:
Suppose after a high-smog alert day in your city, a 5-year-old child with asthma, a 50-year-old male smoker with emphysema, and a 75-year-old of average health all come to the emergency room complaining of a cough and chest pain.
Which patient’s health would you be the most concerned about and why?
How do breathed-in air pollutants, such as smoke or asbestos, interfere with or worsen the respiration process in each of these scenarios?
