Over the past few years, researchers have found links between diesel-fueled school bus emissions and an increased cancer risk in children. The Carmel Clay School District and others across the state are working to make their school buses safer for their students. Gabe Filipelli, a Department of Earth Sciences professor at IUPUI, says constantly being around diesel-fueled emissions is the equivalent of smoking nine packs of cigarettes a year.
