It may be caused by: Drugs such as Tamoxifen, Methotrexate, Amiodarone Inhaling passive cigarette smoke PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) - produced during burning of coal, grilled meats, tobacco, gasoline Air pollution - PAHs mixed with Particulate Matter, Nitrogen oxides Asbestos - found in cement, pipes, roofing, and other construction material Aflatoxins - fungal toxins found on maize, corn, peanuts, rice Pesticides Heavy metal exposure - arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, chromium Organic solvents - trichloroethylene (TCE) used in cleaning metal parts Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in Teflon coating - used in cooking utensils Radiation exposure Trihalomethanes (THMs) - found in drinking water which has been chlorinated Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) - found in gasoline Selenium - used in manufacturing of glass and electronics Exposure to most of these chemicals has been associated with TAFLD, and more research is needed to understand the cellular changes occurring in TAFLD cases
