Carcinogenicity of diesel-engine and gasoline-engine Exhausts and some Nitroarenes

摘要

In June 2012, an IARC Monographs Working Group reevaluated the carcinogenic hazards to humans of diesel and gasoline engine exhausts, and of some nitroarenes that are found in these emis-sions. Diesel engine exhaust was classified as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1) and gasoline engine exhaust as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). The most influential epidemiological Studies on cancer associated with diesel-engine exhausts were conducted among non-metal miners, railroad vvorkers, and vvorkers in the trucking industry in the USA.
