Can’t open the link Car to see what it includes.
However, Percival Potts was the name of the chap who identified it. Same chap after whom Potts fracture was named. I assume it was contact with cytotoxic organic compounds within soot. Mechanics are at risk of cancer of the scrotum if they keep oily rags in their pockets. Again – suspect that the root cause are cytotoxic organic compounds .

I wondered about biological sampling also but agree that risk assessments are needed first.
