Respiratory diseases are a growing global health concern. Thanks to its indoor and outdoor air quality monitors, Ecomesure makes air quality data accessible to all. The Breath Foundation is a French association that works to fight against all respiratory diseases, including those linked to air pollution. The foundation’s values align with ours, so it is only natural that we support its actions.

Air Pollution-Related Diseases Are a Major Global Health Concern

Exposure to pollution poses both short- and long-term risks to our health. 

The short-term risks are irritation of the throat, nose and eyes, as well as complications for people already suffering from respiratory diseases. Over the long term, the risk of developing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases increases and life expectancy decreases.

Key figures:

• According to the WHO, ambient air pollution is responsible for 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the third leading cause of death worldwide¹
• More than 90% of the world’s children breathe toxic air every day²

Through its three primary missions of funding research, running awareness campaigns and providing financial assistance to patients, The French Breath Foundation supports the fight against this global health issue.
