The difficulties of defining chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CNSLD) and covering patients with these diseases are discussed. The comparison of the results of epidemiologic investigation from different investigators is full of problems. In extensive epidemiologic investigations a remarkable parallelism was found between the prevalence of CNSLD and the degree of air pollution. Furthermore the influence of climatic factors such as average annual temperature, air humidity, wind velocity, especially in reference to the content of SO2 and sedimentation dust could be stated. For the influence of microclimate on the morbidity rate the habits of smoking in the family and heating were found to be important.

As a significant player in the global shale gas extraction industry, China has achieved a leading position in shale gas production on a worldwide scale. However, China is also facing the challenge of managing a considerable quantity of oil-based drill cuttings (OBDCs), which are classified as hazardous waste. Without appropriate treatment methods, these materials could cause significant environmental contamination.

Introduction: Exposure to environmental factors ( air pollution and second-hand tobacco smoke) have been associated with impaired lung function. However, the impact of environmental factors on lung health is usually evaluated separately and not with an exposomic framework. In this regard, breath analysis could be a noninvasive tool for biomonitoring of global human environmental exposure.
