New Study On Clean Diesel Technology Affirms Near-Zero Emissions, No Significant Health Impact
Health Effects Institute (HEI) conducted an independent study of new technology diesel engines to determine whether the engines achieved the expected emissions reductions, thereby improving air quality for public health, as well as whether the new technologies resulted in any unintended increases in emission components. The study concluded that exposure to new technology diesel exhaust does not cause any increase in the risk of lung cancer or other significant adverse health effects in study animals.
