Methods Several databases were searched relevant studies up December 2013. The quality articles obtained was evaluated by Strengthening Reporting Observational Studies Epidemiology checklist. Statistical analysis, including pooling effective sizes confidential intervals, performed. Results A total 1106 records through database 36 included our analysis. Among included, 14 ambient exposure 22 involved occupational among professional drivers. Twenty-two marked A level regarding quality, 13 B level, one C level. Exposure nitrogen dioxide (meta-odds ratio [OR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99–1.13), oxide (meta-OR: 1.04, CI: 1.01–1.07), sulfur 1.03, 1.02–1.05), fine particulate matter 1.11, 1.00–1.22) positively associated with risk cancer. Occupational drivers significantly increased incidence 1.27, 1.19–1.36) mortality 1.14, 1.04–1.26). Conclusion Exposure
