"Respiratory conditions are harder to manage in winter, causing an 80% rise in respiratory admissions to A&E during cold snaps. Millions of people are living with undiagnosed lung disease, so if a cough is troubling you get it checked out," says @BLFPenny. #undertheweather

Manufacturing workers are at high risk from fumes given off by welding and hot cutting processes which give off very fine particles that cause cancer, COPD and an increased susceptibility to pneumonia bit.ly/2tY2bqR @BOHSworld
We’re supporting the @Go_Home_Healthy campaign. Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer mainly caused by breathing in asbestos dust. People who worked in industries which used asbestos are at higher risk of developing meso. #workright
