Epidemiologische Ergebnisse zu Dieselmotoremissionen und Lungenkrebs: Eine Synopse

This synopsis summarises the results of epidemiological studies of an assumed association between diesel exhaust and lung cancer and presents dose-response relationships which have so far been identified. The authors provide information about problems related to limit-value setting for and measurement of diesel exhaust and refer to exposure estimates for certain branches of industry in the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States. The questions and results are to enrich the discussion on this complex issue.
