摘要
In the developing countries, most of the house energy necessity is supplied from the biomass. Because of this reason, chronical airway diseases and the respiratory symptoms that have been triggered by the house inside air pollution is very common. As an example from the real life of this entity, an asthmatic woman who has an history of using biomass in her house for heating, cleaning and cooking in all her life (because of the economical difficulties) and also an history of occupational organic dust exposure as a seasonal worker during the last 20 years was reported. After the medical investigation, the case was diagnosed as severe persistant asthma. The case was externated after ordering the appropriate inhaler treatment and she was taken to the follow up programme.
