Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) is an environmental and occupational health
concern. This review examines the cellular actions of the organic and the particulate …

Inhaled diesel exhaust particles (DEP) exert proinflammatory effects in the respiratory tract.
This effect is related to the particle content of redox cycling chemicals and is involved in the …

The effect of diesel exhaust particulate (DEP) exposure on innate, cellular and humoral
pulmonary immunity was studied using high-dose, acute-exposure rat, mouse, and cell …

Host responses to DEPs are regulated by a balance between antioxidants and
proinflammatory responses. DEP-induced oxidants play a key role in proinflammatory …

There is increasing evidence that particulate air pollutants, such as diesel exhaust particles
(DEP), potentiate chronic inflammatory processes as well as acute symptomatic responses …

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 …

Epidemiological studies have shown that particulate air pollutants, such as diesel exhaust
particles (DEPs) are implicated in the increased incidence of allergic airway disorders. DEPs …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) induce a proinflammatory response in human bronchial
epithelial cells (16HBE) characterized by the release of proinflammatory cytokines after …

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 …

Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may
be related to increasing respiratory mortality and morbidity. We have shown that DEPs …
