My grandad was a smoker and he passed away from lung cancer but he also worked in Liverpool where the air was very polluted could that be a risk factor? The enviroment you live in?

  • Hello MillieP,

    I am sorry to hear your grandfather passed away from lung cancer. We have some information on our site on how air pollution can cause cancer which you can read here.

    If you live in the UK, feel free to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Feel free to ask them any question or share your grandfather's particular circumstances with them.

    Best wishes,
