Respiratory tract disorders and pulmonary diseases are significant health threats, ranking second only to cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart disease and stroke) as leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), respiratory illnesses collectively claim millions of lives each year.
Infections of the respiratory tract are predominantly caused by a variety of viruses and bacteria. These infections frequently affect the upper respiratory tract and are prevalent worldwide. 
Allergens such as pollen and mold spores can also trigger respiratory tract allergies.
Respiratory conditions also include chronic diseases that primarily affect the lungs. These include bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which affect millions of people worldwide.
