If you think because you don't smoke and you weren't near a burn pit during your deployment that you're safe from dangerous lung diseases, think again. Dr. Richard Meehan is a rheumatologist at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colo., co-director of the Post Deployment Lung Health Center, and a U.S. Navy veteran. Meehan talks with us about hidden dangers in the air you were breathing while deployed and what you need to know about your future health. This a MUST listen for anyone at all concerned that their next breath could be their last.
