Overview

Environmental exposure is a major risk factor for lung cancer. The inhalation of toxic airborne agents such as tobacco smoke, asbestos, and certain industrial pollutants can lead to the development of lung cancer. In addition, exposure to ultraviolet light, radiation, and other environmental factors can increase the risk of lung cancer. It is important to reduce exposure to these toxic agents to reduce the risk of lung cancer and other health issues. Reducing environmental exposure can be achieved through lifestyle changes, protective clothing, and air quality monitoring. By reducing environmental exposure, we can reduce the incidence of lung cancer and other related health issues.
