DIESEL GAS DEFENDED
“Not Gause Of Cancer”
(N.Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND, March 19. Members of the Public Passenger Transport Association should actively combat propaganda and ill-informed statements that diesel exhaust gas was dangerous or a pollutant, the Auckland Transport Board’s chief engineer (Mr J. W. F. Welch) told delegates to the association's biennial conference.
He said they should also exercise a high degree of maintenance of fuel injection equipment, provide clean and suitable fuel and train drivers in the correct operation of the engines they controlled. Medical authorities Had said that diesel fumes could be ruled out as a factor producing the observed rise in lung cancer because diesel motors came into general use only in 1934, by which time the rise in lung cancer was already established.
