The Terrorism and Inhalation Disaster (TID) section of ATS has developed a number of resources to help clinicians and their patients deal with lung injuries that result from inhalation of chemical threat agents potentially released in industrial accidents or diverted or synthesized by terrorist groups.
The American Thoracic Society improves global health by advancing research, patient care, and public health in pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders. Founded in 1905 to combat TB, the ATS has grown to tackle asthma, COPD, lung cancer, sepsis, acute respiratory distress, and sleep apnea, among other diseases.
