Diesel Exhaust Emissions in Underground Coal Mines
Diesel exhaust emissions were classified as probably carcinogenic to humans in 1998. The International Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified whole diesel exhaust as a carcinogen to humans in June 2012. This change had implications for the mining industry. The Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists recommends a worker exposure limit of 0.1mg/m3, measured as elemental carbon (EC). At this exposure level, the irritant effect of exposure is markedly reduced, and the risk of cancer may also be reduced.
