I had hope, however; I had been wounded seven times during the war, and once before in this same lung; and I did not believe I was going to die.
Saying sulfates do not cause acid rain is the same as saying that smoking does not cause lung cancer.
Early detection and antibiotic therapy has been promoted as a means to delay chronic bacterial lung growth and prolong life, and breath analysis may be an effective first step toward treatment. In the long term, these findings on sulfide levels also might help uncover some of the underlying mechanisms of the disease.
Pump-action sprays typically form droplets that are much larger than those from aerosol cans. These are less likely to reach the sensitive deep lung when inhaled.

This is more of a political problem than a science problem right now. Without the ability to develop grassroots voices and pressures to put on public health leaders, we continue to see lung cancer as the most lethal of all cancers.
We have so much lung capacity that we don't even notice a problem until we are in our 40s.
