WHEREAS, The American Lung Association’s “State of the Air” 2025 Report noted that California communities face significant health risks due to particle pollution; and
WHEREAS, California is home to communities with the most significant particle pollution burdens in the nation, and people with lower incomes and people of color face significant disparities in local pollution exposures; and
WHEREAS, Sources of particle pollution include diesel trucks, ships, locomotives, and other transportation sources, powerplants, the burning of wood, and wildfires; and
WHEREAS, Long-term exposure to particle pollution can increase the risk of lung cancer and lung cancer death; and
WHEREAS, Approximately every two minutes, a person in the United States is diagnosed with lung cancer; and
WHEREAS, Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths; and
WHEREAS, Lung cancer screening saves lives, and advocacy and increased awareness will result in more high-risk individuals getting screened; and
WHEREAS, Public support for research funding will result in new treatments and better methods of early detection; and
WHEREAS, LUNG FORCE is a national initiative, led by the American Lung Association, to defeat lung cancer; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly hereby designates the second week in May as Lung Cancer Action Week throughout California and encourages all residents of California to take action and learn more about lung cancer, the risk factors, and early detection; and be it further
