“Cold, damp homes are much more likely to develop mould which can lead to life-threatening flare ups for people with lung conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cause lung conditions in previously healthy individuals.”
What Andrew McCracken has said
“August was the world's joint hottest month on record and the health impact is clear to see in hospitals across the country. Breathing issues are already the leading cause of emergency admissions in England and it's likely that this summer increase is in part being driven by respiratory problems.”
