CHEST has contributed significantly to research into air pollution, climate change, health care sustainability, and particulate matter, dating back to the CHEST® journal’s inception in 1935. The more than 50 research articles listed here, all published in the CHEST journal portfolio, explore the profound impact of the environment on health issues, including but not limited to asthma, COPD, lung cancer, sleep apnea, and pulmonary fibrosis.
