Allegedly. It's a hypothesis. No more than AGW and us making a
hole in the ozone layer.
Data dredges have found a (weak) correlation between exposure to
high levels of diesel particulates and cancers. Uncontrolled
"studies" and re-analyses with a middle risk ratio barely above
unity.
But the same population is typically dominated by those who can't
afford proper health care, nice food, etc. Poverty gives you cancer.
Of course, those parents who provide a sterile bubble for their
offsprung, will see their children suffer and probably die from the
normal stuff that nature puts their way once outside the bubble. The
immune system has to be innoculated by as much of the prospective
environment as possible, early in life.
