Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in the United States, claiming more lives than prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women, according to the National Cancer Institute. The American Cancer Society predicts about 174,470 new cases of lung cancer in the U.S. in 2006. Lung cancer accounts for more than a quarter of all cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. Smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer, but as in Dana Reeve's case, not all lung cancer patients are - or have ever been - smokers. After Reeve's diagnosis, the American Cancer Society issued a news release with these facts:
Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 80% of women's lung cancers and 90% of men's lung cancers.
Environmental risk factors may include secondhand smoke, radon (a radioactive gas), asbestos, and certain chemicals and metals.
Genes could also play a role.
Fewer than 3% of lung cancers occur in people younger than 45.
I am concerned about my indoor air and have been made aware of how indoor air can be 2-5 times more contaminated than the outdoor air. What physical effects can this have on me and/or my family?

A: Dear Ryan,
New research shows that breathing dirty air is not only bad for the lungs; it is also bad for the brain. A study in the December 2005 issue of Stroke reports that airborne bits of soot and other particulate matter (smaller than 10 micrometers, or PM10) can increase your risk of stroke due to blood clots in the brain (stroke is the U.S.'s third leading cause of death). There are MANY other health affects and we feel good indoor air quality is the most important factor in our homes and offices today!
