00:24 1. Second-hand smoke.

00:38 2. Air pollution.

00:41 Pollution from car exhaust and coal-fired plants can trigger lung cancer.

00:44 This is a significant issue worldwide,

00:47 particularly outside the US, due to high exposure to poor air quality.

00:50 3. Asbestos.

00:52 Asbestos, used in building materials, is now known to cause cancer.

00:56 Although banned for new uses since 1989,

00:59 those in construction, especially on older buildings, remain at risk.

01:02 4. Radon.

01:08 second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, responsible for about 21,000 deaths annually.

01:27 One study found that consuming more than three drinks a day is linked to a high likelihood of

01:39 including lung cancer. Factors like dosage,

01:42 treated area, and patient age affect this risk. Consult your doctor about it.
