[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Yes, you are right. Chronic inhalation of chemical fumes can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). And if you are smoker chances of COPD are more. So gas fumes can cause COPD. The cornerstone of COPD diagnosis is PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). It will not only diagnose COPD, But also tells you about severity of the disease. And treatment of COPD is according to the severity of the disease. So better to consult pulmonologist first and discuss all these, get done PFT and start treatment.
