The Office of Inspector General sent a release on November 8, 2008 to Congress, which included the following paragraph:
Of 6.7 million new single -family detached homes built nationwide between 2001 and 2005, only about 469,000 incorporated radon-resistant features. Of 76.1 million existing single family homes in the United States in 2005, only about 2.1 million had radon-reducing features in place.
Please let me repeat: “Prevention is the way to win the war on lung cancer.” I urge you to quit smoking and to test your home for radon gas. If you are building a new home, please incorporate radon control features in the construction. If not for yourself, do it for those who love you and for those you love. Only 12% to 15% of those diagnosed with lung cancer live five years. There are not large masses of demonstrators against lung cancer, because many of them are not here to share their stories with us.

Listen out for the symptoms of lung cancer among your family, friends, community and colleagues. If you have any of these three key symptoms, you should see your doctor, irrespective

Early diagnosis of lung cancer doubles the 5-year survival rate.
The three key symptoms of lung cancer you should listen out for include:
- Persistent cough (lasting longer than 3 weeks)
- Change in cough
- Coughing up blood
