As far as I know, the environment is not believed to be a cause of Turner syndrome.
Yes, most women with Turner syndrome are infertile. There are two types of Turner syndrome and people with the Mosaic form of it (that is, only some of their cells are affected) are sometimes (rarely) able to have children naturally if they have gone through puberty spontaneously.
If a female with Turner Syndrome inactivates the X chromosome that carries the Turner Syndrome genetic material, she may develop a condition called mosaicism. This can result in a less severe presentation of Turner Syndrome symptoms, as some cells in her body will have the typical number of X chromosomes. However, the exact impact can vary widely among individuals.
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
Turner syndrome can rarely be inherited

people (girls/women) with turner syndrome live as long as regular people do....turner syndrome does not affect life spancy
Linda Hunt on NCIS Los Angeles has Turner's Syndrome.
No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
Cardiovascular malformations are well-recognized congenital anomalies in Turner syndrome. Dilation and dissection of the aorta are reported in approximately half of women with Turner syndrome
Turner syndrome cannot be transported from one person to another as it is a chromosomal disorder.
