It’s thought that smoking causes about 90% of COPD cases. The other 10% of cases are thought to be caused by factors such as:air pollutiongeneticsbreathing in fumes and dust Researchers have identified alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) as a genetic condition that raises your risk of developing COPD. People with AATD have lungs that are more sensitive to damage from environmental factors such as smoking and pollution.

Chronic activation of neutrophils can result in chronic lung inflammation. Alpha-1 antitrypsin protein protects your lungs from an enzyme called neutrophil elastase that’s produced by neutrophils in the presence of inflammation as part of their defense mechanism. A side effect of this enzyme is the breakdown of lung tissue.
