Credit First Service Union The EPA report concludes that uncertainties remain about long- term health effects of exposure to diesel exhausts. It said, however, that studies involving both tests on animals and occupational exposure suggest strong evidence of a cancer risk to humans.

Card Credit Mobile Service "Overall, the evidence for a potential cancer hazard to humans resulting from chronic inhalation exposure to (diesel emissions) is persuasive," said the health impact report released by the EPA.

The EPA has yet to deal with those diesel exhaust sources, which include farm tractors and construction equipment.

Credit Monitoring Service "To reduce the public's exposure to harmful diesel emissions, the Bush administration should ... fully implement clean air standards for diesel trucks and buses and should pass equivalent standards for diesel construction and farm equipment," said Emily Figdor of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a private environmental organization.
