Why is it important?

biomass exposure has very serious adverse effects on pulmonary functions, and it is a very important health care problem therefor precoutions should ve taken to avoid negative effects of biomass

Perspectives

there is an obligatory mission for doctors in my country. We must work in underdevelopped areas of Turkey for 1.5-2 years. In my obligatory mission I worked in Kars (located in east part of our country). I realised that many women had very pulmonary function test results, than I decided to make research about this topic. My new mission is talking to government and find solutions for this serious health care problem.
