Treatment for tuberculosis, benzene, "new building and renovation", pesticides, hair dyes, traditional Chinese medicines (for one subtype of MDS), gasoline and herbicides. Education was somehow protective. See "Case-Control Study of Risk Factors of Myelodysplastic Syndromes According to World Health Organization Classification in a Chinese Population" published in the Feb. 2011 American Journal of Hematology.
