据英国广播公司报道，世界卫生组织专家称，柴油发动机排放的废气确实会引发癌症，并得出结论：废气无疑是肺癌诱因之一，还可能引发膀胱肿瘤。

通过对高危工作者如矿工、铁路工作人员和卡车司机进行调查，科学家得出上述结论。但他们强调，每个人都应尽力避免置身柴油废气环境。
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has now labeled exhausts as a definite cause of cancer.
国际癌症研究所已将废气明确列为癌症诱因之一。
Diesel exhausts are now in the same group as carcinogens ranging from wood chippings to plutonium, and from sunlight to alcohol.
和木屑、放射元素钚、阳光、酒类一样，柴油废气也是致癌物。
