Car fumes cause cancer

Kevin Duncan is right in that car exhaust fumes cause cancer.

New Scientist magazine some years ago wrote that particulate pollution from such a source killed more people in Europe than did road accidents.

A doctor friend told me that it was impossible to separate such cancer deaths from those caused by particulate pollution from tobacco smoke.

Professor Ian Lowe, the new director of the Australian Conservation Foundation, wrote how this form of pollution is causing alarm in many countries.

Particulate traps on vehicles could save many lives.
