Can the fumes from lawn mowers give me cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially, Yes: Exhaust gases from any motorised vehicle are harmful to your lungs. So protect your lungs by avoiding inhalation of exhaust gases from any vehicle. You may have to use a mask or cover your nose with a light piece of cloth.
