November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing attention to a disease that each year kills more people than breast, prostate,
colon and pancreas cancers combined.
The Lung Cancer Alliance is the only national non-profit organization dedicated solely to patient support and advocacy for people
living with lung cancer and those at risk for the disease.

LifeScience Moment: The Environmental Protection Agency required the phase-out of lead in gasoline.
On Nov. 28, 1973 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Russell E. Train
announced the promulgation of final regulations to protect public health by reducing the
amount of lead in all grades of gasoline. The EPA was established by President Richard Nixon on

air, leaded paint, and dust. The total amount of lead used in gasoline amounted to
well over 200,000 tons a year.
