Tobacco contains over 7,000 chemical compounds, many of which have been shown to be cancer causing. Asbestos fibers are silicate fibers that can last a lifetime in lung tissue, that are found in work places because it is widely used in the past for thermal and acoustic insulation. Radon gas is a chemically inert gas that is a natural decay product of uranium. ]]> 2018-11-06 16:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gbalma05/e9g6w2nqvycf/wish/301059191 nschrodt74 https://padlet.com/gbalma05/e9g6w2nqvycf/wish/301063607

African American men are about 40 percent more likely to develop lung cancer than Caucasian men. The rate is about the same in African American women and in Caucasian women.

About two out of three people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older.

Fewer than 2 percent of all cases are found in people younger than 45.
