A study was done in 2012 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a part of the World Health Organization (WHO), which discovered that diesel could cause cancer in humans. Other studies have been done to confirm the IARC’s discoveries. It would help know that your lungs begin to malfunction after years of exposure to some other gasoline products.
