I predicted some would say diesel exhaust doesn't cause cancer and some even say the EPA just made it up. Read the articles from WebMD and Mayo Clinic. This isn't coffee shop hyp it's real.

From WebMD:
Diesel engine exhaust does cause cancer
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has re-classified diesel engine fumes as carcinogenic to humans.

Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say;

Before this June, 2012, diesel engine exhaust was listed as a 'possible carcinogen.' Now the World Health Organization has classified the fumes as cancer causing. As semis roll down the road, there's a new threat level when it comes to their emissions…Health experts say diesel engine exhaust is now in the same carcinogenic category as asbestos, benzene and tobacco smoke. "The studies seem to suggest that there's an increased risk of lung cancer, and possibly bladder cancer," said Stephen Campbell, M.D. of Mayo Clinic Health System.

I know 2 truckers with stage 4 lung cancer. One trucker is only 52 and never smoked. The other quit smoking 10 years before his cancer. Can't really say they got cancer for diesel exhaust. But the 52 year old man has no doubt it did.

Perhaps you will change your mind when you get lung cancer and never smoked.
