diesel / lung cancer

The WHO says diesel exhaust causes lung cancer.

Does anyone know if this finding is mitigated as it relates to the exhaust of diesel 5 and 7 series?

The 5 and 7 series Diesel engines employ a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a liquid reducing agent known as diesel exhaust fluid.

Can anyone tell me if these two technologies, as BMW designed into its Diesel engines, can reduce the chance of getting lung cancer from that of standard Diesel engines?

Or, are drivers of BMW Diesel engines doomed to get lung cancer even if one does not smoke.
