American Lung Association in Utah

Teens Needed for Trial Program
Do you know a teen who is trying to quit smoking? The American Lung Association of the Southwest is partnering with the Department of Community Medicine at West Virginia University which is developing an online smoking cessation program. We are currently recruiting teens ages 14-18 to try out this new web-based quit-smoking resource and provide feedback. If you know someone who might be interested, please download this flyer for further information and contact details.

Dangerous Radon Gas: Is Your Home at Risk?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas and is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Beaver County has one of the highest radon levels in the state. Levels are also high in the following counties: Box Elder, Cache, Carbon, Davis, Duchesne, Garfield, Juab, Morgan, Rich, Salt Lake, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Uintah, Wasatch, and Weber. Radon is not a concern outdoors, but indoor levels can become dangerous if elevated. Wintertime is an especially dangerous time because we are spending more time indoors, without opening as many windows and doors. Most homes in Utah should be tested. See our radon page for more information or to purchase a test kit. Also, become one of our Facebook fans and sign up to follow us on Twitter.
