US study of miners links heavy exposure to diesel exhaust to increased risk of lung cancer death; researchers suggest implications for urban areas with high exhaust concentrations

Green Car Congress

MARCH 5, 2012

In a study of non-metal miners in the US, federal government scientists report that heavy exposure to diesel exhaust increased risk of death from lung cancer. For never-smokers, risk of lung cancer death increased with increasing diesel exhaust exposure. effect of diesel exhaust exposure on lung cancer mortality in.

The Amoco scientists found that DME was a good diesel replacement, and at the 1995 SAE conference in Detroit, reported that preliminary engine test data for DME showed emission levels better than the California 1998 ULEV standards. There is no need for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, EGR cooler, and EGR valve, Saxman said. Earlier post.)
