The supporting meta-analysis examined cohort studies across twelve selected cancers.Firefighting is the clearest recent example, not an isolated one. Men make up the overwhelming majority of workers in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, welding, painting, roofing and commercial driving — occupations carrying documented exposures to diesel exhaust, silica, solvents, welding fumes, pesticides, asbestos legacy and combustion byproducts."A man does not think of himself as working in a chemical environment," said Dr. Ellis.
