I blame Diesel cars for the increase in the number of Cancer cases in the world. Agree/Disagree?

I work with big diesel engines and I was told that the emissions were safer than petrol, but now we realize that the soot particles emitted are so small that they can pass through filters and embed them selves in your lungs, which your body cant get rid of, and will increase you risk of lung cancer. "Soot Plays Bigger Role In Global Warming Than Previously Believed"http://www.futurepundit.com/arc... "In the long term, there is some evidence that repeated exposure to diesel fumes over a period of about 20 years may increase the risk of lung cancer. Exposure to petrol engine exhaust emissions does not have the same risk".http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg28... just a few bits of info on diesel emissions it is certainly NOT green to burn oil.

Then we should live in the stone age.

Disagree completley!!! Do some research

You're an idiot! What about Lorries and buses that get through £100's of diesel each every day! Diesels are LESS polluting than Petrol burners

considering....burnt food, cling film, teflon, deodorant, talc, artificial colouring/preservative/flavourings in processed foods, the growth hormones injected into animals we eat, pesticides, insecticides, milk, to name just a few things that cause cancer...i think its a little unfair to put all the blame on diesel cars....i'll have to pick disagree.

ok, people say that the soot from diesels is bad, but, you put a modern exhaughst on it, and use ultra low sulfur diesel, and there are fewer emisions then a gas engine. btw, diesels take longer to warm up, making that experimant biased towards gas

listen oh clever one if you had researched your question before you asked it you would know that emissions for a diesel car are not tested for m.o.t purposes because there aren't any, petrol driven engines do more damage to the environment because of the fumes they omit. why dont you wise up and get a life.

are you retarded

I disagree. Diesels just burn less refined oil than petrol. Emissions are carbon but with petrol it is CO2 gas and nitrogen. All have been proved to cause damage to the Ozone layer that causes skin cancer, but the petrol cars are more damaging to the Ozone than Diesels.
