World Health Organization (WHO) classified automotive gasoline as proven carcinogen. Working group of 20 scientists from 16 countries concluded that petrol is proven carcinogen to humans (Group 1 according to IARC/International Agency for Research on Cancer classification) – that is, there is sufficient evidence that it can cause cancer. Gasoline was previously (since 1988) assessed as possible carcinogen, but new studies have shown clear link to bladder cancer and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults. Increased risks have been observed, particularly in petrol station workers and those involved in petrol distribution. Other cancers, such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and childhood leukaemia, are also strongly suspected, but evidence is still limited. At same time, oxygenated gasoline additives (used to improve combustion) MTBE and ETBE were classified as potentially carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), while TBA, DIPE and TAME remain unclassifiable in terms of carcinogenicity (Group 3). This happened 13 years after WHO declared diesel engine exhaust gases carcinogenic in 2012
