Diesel engine emissions are among the most prevalent anthropogenic pollutants worldwide,
and with the growing popularity of diesel-fueled engines in the private transportation sector …

Diesel exhaust related airborne Particulate Matter (PM) has been linked to a myriad of
adverse health outcomes, ranging from cancer to cardiopulmonary disease. The underlying …

Diesel exhaust and its particles (DEP) have been under scrutiny for health effects in
humans. In the development of these effects inflammation is regarded as a key process …

Several plausible mechanisms have been proposed to explain the adverse health effects of
particulate matter (PM) in polluted ambient air [1]. To date, experimental support has been …

The cardiovascular effects of inhaled particle matter (PM) are responsible for a substantial
morbidity and mortality attributed to air pollution. Ultrafine particles, like those in diesel …

Two samples of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) predominate in health effects research: an
automobile-derived DEP (A-DEP) sample and the National Institute of Standards …

Several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a consistent association between levels
of particulate matter (PM) in the ambient air with increases in cardiovascular and respiratory …

Air pollution has been estimated to be responsible for several millions of deaths worldwide
per year, the majority of which have been attributed to cardiovascular causes. The …

Although several epidemiological studies have shown a positive relationship between
exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) and adverse health effects in humans, there …

Several diesel exhaust (DE) characteristics, comprising both particle and gas phase,
