WHO says diesel fumes do cause cancer Exhaust fumes from diesel
engines do cause cancer, a panel of experts working for the
World Health Organization says. It concluded that the exhausts
were definitely a cause of lung cancer and may also cause
tumours in the bladder. It based the findings on research in
high-risk workers such as miners, railway workers and truck
drivers. However, the panel said everyone should try to reduce
their exposure to diesel exhaust fumes. Jane Hughes reports.
