The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) has produced a series of videos aimed at getting the word out about work-related Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Faces of Work-related COPD is an impact video series that is part of a NORA Respiratory Health Cross-Sector Council initiative.

There are four short videos in the series. The video features pulmonologist (and US COPD Coalition Board of Directors member) Akshay Sood, MD, MPH, who explains what the disease is, as well as interviews with patients diagnosed with work-related COPD who discuss work exposures, their quality of life having the disease, and ways to minimize the risks of getting the disease.
