NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 50 - carcinogenic effects of exposure to diesel exhaust, August 1988
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6620893
The bulletin presents recent information on the potential carcinogenicity of diesel exhaust. Included are discussions of recent animal studies that confirm the relationship between cancer and exposure to whole diesel exhaust. Also discussed is epidemiological evidence that associates lung cancer with occupational exposure to diesel engine emissions. On the basis of the results of these studies, NIOSH recommends that whole-diesel exhaust be regarded as a potential occupational carcinogen in conformance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cancer policy (29 CFR 1900).
