Impact of Particulate Matter in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Evaluation of Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease According to Particular Matter Exposure

A prospective study will be conducted in patients with COPD. The investigators will suggest about intervention for preventing in recurrence and aggravation of adult chronic respiratory disease due to exposure to particulate matter.
