Overview
Risk factors for developing a lung mass include exposure to different chemicals and compounds in the workplace or the environment in general. Active and passive tobacco smoking also increases the risk of developing lung mass and so does the personal and family history of a lung mass.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for developing a lung mass include:[1]
- Tobacco smoking (active and passive both)
- Exposure to:
- Inhalation of:
- Arsenic
- Beryllium
- Cadmium
- Silica
- Vinyl chloride
- Chromium containing compounds
- Coal products
- Mustard gas
- Chloromethyl ethers
- Air pollution
- Exposure to arsenic in drinking water
- History of radiation to the chest
- Personal and family history of lung mass
- Marijuana smoking
- Exposure to talc and talcum powder
