Dr Zafar Ahmad Iqbal, Consultant – Pulmonology, Sleep Apnea and Critical Care, was the keynote speaker for the session. Dr Zafar discussed at length how air pollution affects the respiratory health, how it triggers new cases of asthma, worsens a previously-existing respiratory illness, and provokes development or progression of chronic illnesses.
