Breathing polluted air is unhealthy. For example, you might find it more difficult to breathe, you might cough or your chest might feel tight. Two main types of air pollution are ozone pollution and particle pollution. The ozone we breathe at ground level is bad. But very high in the atmosphere (the stratosphere) is a natural layer of ozone that is good because it helps protect us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. A rhyme that can help you remember this is “Ozone: Good up high, bad nearby.

Clinical Manifestations Lung cancer gives rise to signs and symptoms caused by local tumor growth, invasion or obstruction of adjacent structures, growth in regional nodes through lymphatic spread, growth in distant metastatic sites after hematogenous dissemination, and remote effects of tumor products (paraneoplastic syndromes) (Chaps. 96 and 97). Although 5–15% of patients with lung cancer are identified while they are asymptomatic, usually as a result of a routine chest radiograph or through the use of screening CT scans, most patients present with some sign or symptom.

Approach to the Patient: Hemoptysis The history is extremely valuable. Hemoptysis that is described as bloodstreaking of mucopurulent or purulent sputum often suggests bronchitis. Chronic production of sputum with a recent change in quantity or appearance favors an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. Fever or chills accompanying bloodstreaked purulent sputum suggests pneumonia, whereas a putrid smell to the sputum raises the possibility of lung abscess. When sputum production has been chronic and copious, the diagnosis of bronchiectasis should be considered.
