A very good question I've been pondering myself. There could be a number of related reasons such as polluted air as well as other reasons. During summer months the news programs sometimes report that on certain days some people will suffer respiratory difficulty. I know that when I wash my car, on the following day there will be a film of something that comes off on my hands. Whatever it is, it also gets into lungs.
