COPD in Vermont
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung condition where the lungs are damaged or lose function in a way that they can't go back to normal. This can lead to long-term breathing problems. There is no cure for COPD, so it is important to prevent COPD and slow further damage to the lungs for those who already have the disease.
Key Points
Approximately 34,000 Vermont adults have COPD, representing 6% of the population.
COPD is the fifth leading cause of death in Vermont.
COPD is more common among those who smoke cigarettes and those who have asthma.

COPD and Environment FAQs
What are some examples of environmental pollutants linked to COPD?
Although the primary cause of COPD is smoking, studies have also shown strong links between exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution and COPD.
The most common indoor exposures are smoke from tobacco, fireplaces and wood stoves, while outdoor exposures include
ozone and particle pollution
, and emissions from vehicles and industrial sources. Job-related exposures include fumes, gases, and dusts.

Vermont COPD Program
The Vermont COPD Program is supported by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control. The purpose of the grant is to reduce the prevalence of COPD in Vermont through increasing public health knowledge of COPD among providers and the public, promoting earlier detection and diagnosis, increasing patient and caregiver support, and reducing COPD-related hospital readmissions. COPD surveillance data helps to direct and inform the activities of the Vermont COPD Program and their partners and provides information to the public about asthma in their communities.

and how the Department of Health is working to support individuals with COPD, as well as their caregivers and providers.
