Stan,
You make a good point about people who breathe deeply as opposed to those who do not in the same environment. But the evidence is overwhelming that exercise improves health, and I believe that it would be very misleading to think that exercise could lead to an increase risk of myeloma.
My thinking is people who live in cities or anywhere the air quality is generally lower will have more health problems. Whether myeloma is one of these health problems or not I have no idea. Also, it is not a given that a city will have worse air quality that a rural area. Honolulu has the best air quality of any city in the United States. While the Kern county California, which is rural, has some of the worse air quality. The pollution in Kern county is carried in by the wind from other areas and backs up against the mountains.

Re: Biking - a potential risk factor for multiple myeloma?
I too use a backpack sprayer and have read that if you are spraying enough volume such that you create a "mist field", then you definitely would be well-served to use a well-designed aspirator spray mask!
