In this instrument:
                                     ambient polluted air as specified means air with annual average levels of:
(a)          particulates with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) exceeding 30 μg/m3;
(b)          particulates with an aerodynamic diameter <10 μm (PM10) exceeding 150 μg/m3;
(c)          nitrogen dioxide exceeding 18.0 μg/m3; or
(d)          nitrous oxides exceeding 31.5 μg/m3.
                                                   being exposed to second-hand smoke means being in an enclosed space and inhaling smoke from burning tobacco products or smoke that has been exhaled by another person who is smoking.
                                     chronic obstructive pulmonary disease—see subsection 7(2).
                                     dust means airborne particulate matter consisting of solid particles of organic or inorganic matter, of aerodynamic diameter between 0.5 and 30 micrometres, excluding wood dust.
                                     joint-years of cannabis means a calculation of consumption where 1 joint-year of cannabis equals 1 joint per day for a period of 1 year.
                                     lower respiratory tract means the trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
                                     MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                                     one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year, or an equivalent amount of tobacco products.
Note 1: An equivalent amount of tobacco products is 7,300 grams of smoking tobacco by weight, either in cigarettes, pipe tobacco or cigars, or a combination of same. For pipe tobacco, cigars or combinations of multiple tobacco types, 1 gram of tobacco is considered to be equal to one cigarette.
Note 2: Pack-years are calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 and multiplying this number by the number of years the person has smoked. For example, smoking 10 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 5 pack-years, and smoking 40 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 20 pack-years.
                                     persistent airflow limitation is a post-bronchodilator spirometric ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second divided by forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) less than 0.7, which is not attributable to other pathology.
                                     polluting fuels means animal dung, wood, charcoal, coal, coke, crop residues, and kerosene.
                                     pulmonary tuberculosis means an active tuberculosis infection that occurs in the lung or respiratory tract in which the tuberculosis bacteria are multiplying and inducing an inflammatory response.
                                     relevant service means:
         (a)          operational service under the VEA;
         (b)          peacekeeping service under the VEA;
         (c)          hazardous service under the VEA;
         (d)          British nuclear test defence service under the VEA;
         (e)          warlike service under the MRCA; or
         (f)           non-warlike service under the MRCA.
Note: MRCA and VEA are also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     specified list of respiratory tract irritants means:
(a)          ammonia;
(b)          chlorine;
(c)          dust at a concentration of greater than five milligrams per cubic metre;
(d)          Lewisite;
(e)          oxides of nitrogen;
(f)
