Diesel motor emission is a complex mixture of hundreds of constituents in either gas or
particle form. Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is composed of a center core of elemental …

An analysis of literature data on effects of both diesel exhaust and of particle overload shows
that the experimentally induced lung tumors in rats after diesel exposure may be explained …

Diesel-powered vehicles emit substantially more particles than do gasoline-powered
vehicles with contemporary emission control systems. The DEP are submicron in size and …

Background: Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture comprised of gases and particulate matter
and is a contributor to ambient air pollution. To reduce health risks, recent changes in diesel …

Particulate matter (PM) emissions involve a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles
suspended in a gas, where it is noted that PM emissions from diesel engines are a major …

The mutagenicity of organic solvent extracts from diesel exhaust particulate (DEP), first
noted more than 55 years ago, initiated an avalanche of diesel exhaust (DE) health effects …

Diesel engines, a special type of internal combustion engine, use heat of compression,
rather than electric spark, to ignite hydrocarbon fuels injected into the combustion chamber …

Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate compounds resulting from
an incomplete combustion of diesel fuel. Controlled human exposures to diesel exhaust and …

Diesel exhaust (DE) characteristic of pre-1988 engines is classified as a “probable” human
carcinogen (Group 2A) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the …

Several quantitative risk assessment models have been published for occupational and
environmental exposures to diesel exhaust particles (DEP). These risk assessment models …
