Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Silent Epidemic: COPD and the 3.5 Million Deaths No One Talks About - José Luis Castro #105
Q: Why is COPD often described as the Cinderella of public health, and what has changed recently?
COPD has been invisible because it's not infectious, often attributed to smoking, and its symptoms are frequently masked; recent emphasis on air quality, urban health, and policy alignment has started to bring attention and resources to address it.
The Silent Epidemic: COPD and the 3.5 Million Deaths No One Talks About - José Luis Castro #105
Q: What is your role as the Director General's Special Envoy for Chronic Respiratory Diseases at the WHO?
I am responsible for elevating chronic respiratory diseases, notably asthma and COPD, on the global health agenda, raising awareness across health, policy, media, and public platforms, and mobilizing political commitment to prevention and treatment.
From Dust to Disease: The Hidden Respiratory Risks in Construction - Angie Brooker #107
Q: What would you like to see construction doing better in 2026 and beyond?
The basics need to be right and made a mandatory standard—proper RPE, elimination/substitution where possible, consistent health surveillance, and ongoing education so risk awareness translates into daily on-site behavior.
From Dust to Disease: The Hidden Respiratory Risks in Construction - Angie Brooker #107
Q: Is there training on respiratory protection and proper PPE use for operatives?
Yes, there is face-fit testing and some level of training, but there are challenges with consistent proper use, especially with facial hair and hot conditions; consideration is given to more advanced PPE like air-fed hoods where appropriate.
From Dust to Disease: The Hidden Respiratory Risks in Construction - Angie Brooker #107
Q: What does the practical management of dust look like on a site that is constantly changing phases?
Site practices focus on three dust streams (wood, general, silica) and use a combination of containment, ventilation, and targeted PPE; there is a strong emphasis on health interventions and continuous education to keep workers aware of immediate and long-term risks.
