Frequency of Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Associated with the Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution in the AIREPOC Cohort

These results highlight the importance of strengthening air quality control measures and educating people with COPD to know and interpret the local air quality indices and to follow the recommendations derived from its alterations.
