The respiratory system can break down due to various factors, including chronic respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Asthma, which result from long-term exposure to irritants such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, and allergens. Infections, such as pneumonia or COVID-19, can also damage lung tissue and impair function. Additionally, environmental factors, genetic predispositions, and aging contribute to the decline of respiratory health. Overall, a combination of lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and underlying health conditions plays a significant role in the deterioration of the respiratory system.
