- Pesticides
Another frequent genetic cause is exposure to pesticides, which are commonly used in the United States, as well as in other parts of the world. A polluate area with pesticides can increase your risk of developing lung cancer. - Family history and genetics
An environmental factor that can potentially play a role in causing this condition is a family history of this disease. This is particularly important because family history of this disease often reveals certain characteristics that can help predict the likelihood of an individual developing it in the future. For example, individuals who have parents, siblings, or grandparents who have had this condition are more likely to develop it in the future, as are individuals who have more family members who also have this disease.
Lifestyle
As far as diet goes, there is a lot of conflicting information. Many people believe that too much fat can cause you to develop these problems. On the other hand, others swear by a healthy diet and good exercise to prevent this condition. The truth seems to lie somewhere in the middle. It is probably a good idea to eat a balanced diet and get regular exercise
