Abstract
After large-scale natural disasters, environmental hygiene in affected areas is aggravated by several causes. This aggravation of environmental hygiene leads to an increased incidence of respiratory infection and exacerbation of chronic pulmonary disease, such as acute respiratory infection, pneumonia, influenza, and tuberculosis; acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and exacerbation of asthma.
