[quote=Anonymous]They are studying the exposures. They only discovered UFPs recently. For now, they know it’s worse than exposure to diesel. And for diesel they know that indeed people have had increased morbidity and mortality for decades due to occupational hazards or living next to the highway.

“In a meta-analysis of exposure to diesel exhaust and lung cancer occurrence in three occupational studies, the identified dose-response relationship showed that occupational exposure to 1 μg EC/m3 during a 45 year work life would cause 17 excess lung cancers per 10,000 exposed using the EC content of diesel exhaust as metric [80]. Another recent analysis of 14 case-control studies estimated exposure to diesel exhaust particles using job-exposure matrices. In this study, occupational exposure to 1 μg EC/m3 during a 45 year work life would cause 4 excess lung cancers per 10,000 exposed using the EC content of diesel exhaust as metric.”

I would not take the chance. If my work required the exposure, I would wear a mask (and they do — earmuffs and masks and goggles). Just like I wouldn’t buy a house next to the highway, I wouldn’t buy one under the flight path. How is that confusing?[/quote]
