17 -We develop digital games to help asthmatic children manage their crises, to value self- and mutual care for people who live with reduced breath capacity (cystic fibrosis, COPD), and to promote respiratory health to the broader population. Did you know air pollution reduces our [[life expectancy>>url:https://www.stateofglobalair.org/life-expectancy||rel="__blank"]] by 20 months?
