Rotary club Pune katraj conducted Spirometric, breathometry and bone density test at Swargate Bus depot for the drivers, conducters, hamals, mechanics , etc. Total number of 100 brethometry tests, 68 spirometry tests, and 100 bone density testes, were conducted. We also organised chest check up. Air in Pune is highly polluted these days. Residents in Pune, especially manual workers have to inhale polluted air spoiling their lungs. In December 2017 we organised "Right to breathe" activity by examining more than 6000 people in 16 centres with the help of Jehangir Hospital, Sahyadri Hospital, Cipla and Lupin. It was first of its kind in entire India. We found out nearly 3000 persons had damaged their lungs because of polluted air. We advised them how to stop further deterioration of their lungs. We also organised this test at Malin for about 100 residents.
