Welcome to HealthyLungs

Healthy Lungs is an independent resource dedicated to lung health and the importance of breathing clean air. We focus on key aspects of prevention, protection, and strengthening of the respiratory system by providing accurate and accessible information to a wide audience. Our goal is to support people living with chronic respiratory conditions as well as those who want to maintain healthy lungs throughout life.

We bring together doctors, scientists, policymakers, educators, patients, and everyone who understands that lung health is essential to quality of life. Through educational materials, public events, and partnerships with health professionals around the world, Healthy Lungs helps people make informed decisions to improve their respiratory well-being.

Our Mission: Lifelong Protection and Promotion of Respiratory Health

Each day, the lungs process approximately 10,000 liters of air. Yet we rarely consider how fragile and vulnerable our respiratory system really is. Exposure to polluted air, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, infections, and climate change all seriously compromise lung health—even in people who consider themselves otherwise healthy. Our mission is to change that.

Healthy Lungs promotes evidence-based strategies for reducing risk and preventing lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, lung cancer, pneumonia, and others. We believe every individual has the right to breathe clean air and live in an environment that supports respiratory well-being.

Our Core Focus Areas

#BreatheCleanAir

Air pollution is one of the most serious and underestimated risks to lung health. We advocate for stronger air quality standards, reduced emissions from traffic and industry, and the expansion of green spaces in cities. Mobile lung function screenings in major cities help people understand how their local air quality may be affecting their lungs.

#StopSmoking

Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of lung disease. We support smoking cessation programs, raise awareness about the dangers of vaping and secondhand smoke, and promote proven methods to overcome nicotine addiction. We also work to prevent youth smoking through educational outreach.

#StayActive

Physical activity improves lung ventilation, lowers the risk of respiratory infections, and boosts immunity. Healthy Lungs encourages walking, sports, breathing exercises, and adaptive physical activity for individuals with limited mobility. We promote an active lifestyle as a standard—starting from childhood through to older age.

#Vaccinate

Airborne infections can pose a serious threat to lung health. Vaccinations against influenza, pneumococcal infections, and other respiratory pathogens are effective tools of prevention. We share up-to-date information on recommended vaccines, dispel harmful myths, and work to increase immunization coverage among vulnerable groups.

#FightClimateChange

Climate change worsens allergies, contributes to smog formation, and increases the frequency of wildfires and dust storms—all of which directly impact lung health. Healthy Lungs promotes environmentally conscious behavior, sustainable urban development, and green transportation as part of a broader strategy to protect respiratory health from climate-related threats.
