lung health
Pulmonary system condition
Lung health refers to the condition and functioning of the lungs—their capacity to take in air, exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, and support breathing without difficulty.
The phrase appears in medical contexts and public health messaging: Smoking is the biggest threat to lung health.
Good lung health typically means clear airways, adequate capacity, and absence of disease.
