Diesel Exhaust

Diesel exhaust is the emission from diesel-powered engines and machines. Although not classified as a carcinogen, many particulates in diesel exhaust cause cancer. Occupational exposure to diesel exhaust is a risk for workers including miners, truck and forklift drivers and people working on bridges, farms, loading docks, railroads and in tunnels. Diesel-powered buses pose a threat to school children and public transportation passengers. Symptoms of diesel exhaust include headaches, eye irritation and coughing. During long-term exposure, soot particles are inhaled into the lungs. This can cause cancer and respiratory conditions including asthma. Studies connect airborne particles like diesel exhaust to increased hospital treatment for pneumonia, heart and lung disease and some 60,000 premature deaths annually. Alternatives to diesel fuel include electric power and liquefied natural gas.
