Causes of Emphysema

8. Cooking
In many parts of the world, people still use open fires to cook with, as opposed to the grills, hobs, and ovens that so many people use today. While this can be a very effective way of preparing food, it does come with some potential health risks.
One such risk is emphysema. If you are cooking on an open fire then it is a good idea to make sure the room is well-ventilated. Otherwise, smoke particles can accumulate in the air, and these particles might cause damage if they are inhaled. Open fires indoors also present the risk of oxygen depletion and carbon monoxide poisoning, so make sure that all precautions are taken.
