We investigated the inflammatory response, acute phase response and genotoxic effect of
diesel exhaust particles (DEPs, NIST1650b) following a single intratracheal instillation …

Recent studies have identified an indirect genotoxicity pathway involving inflammation as
one of the mechanisms underlying the carcinogenic effects of air pollution/diesel exhaust …

Several chemical mutagens and carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) and nitrated PAHs, are adsorbed to the surface of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) …

Background Diesel exhaust is carcinogenic and exposure to diesel particles cause health
effects. We investigated the toxicity of diesel exhaust particles designed to have varying …

Studies in mono-culture of cells have shown that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) increase
the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress–related damage to …

Micronucleus induction and phagocytosis in V79 and CHO cells treated with diesel emission
particles (DEP) were studied. After separation of the sample into supernatant and sediment …

Diesel exhaust particle (DEP) has been identified as a class 2A human carcinogen and
closely related to the increased incidence of respiratory allergy, cardiopulmonary morbidity …

The gastrointestinal route of exposure to particulate matter is important because particles
are ingested via contaminated foods and inhaled particles are swallowed when removed …

Epidemiologists have linked increased cardio-respiratory hospital admissions, morbidity and
mortality rates and increases in particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than …

Inhaled diesel exhaust has been shown to be carcinogenic to rats. Two mechanisms have
been suggested: a genotoxic effect of organic compounds associated with the diesel soot …
