Key Points

  • To evaluate the association between occupational exposure to diesel motor exhaust and the risk of developing lung cancer.
  • Conducted a pooled analysis of case-control studies across Europe and Canada.
  • Applied adjusted multivariable models and subgroup analyses to evaluate and minimize the impact of bias and confounding.
  • Observed a consistent positive association between occupational diesel exhaust exposure and increased lung cancer incidence.
  • Confirmed that the elevated risk remained robust and was unlikely attributable to bias or confounding.

Abstract

Our results show a consistent association between occupational exposure to diesel motor exhaust and increased risk of lung cancer. This association is unlikely explained by bias or confounding, which we addressed by adjusted models and subgroup analyses.
