Lung Cancer Action Week

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

Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution. REVISIONS: Heading—Line 2.
