Background: Air pollution is linked to central nervous system disease, but the mechanisms
responsible are poorly understood. Objectives: Here, we sought to address the brain-region …

Epidemiological studies suggest that an increase of PM2. 5 diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in
ambient air corresponds to increased myocardial infarctions and atherosclerosis. When …

Crude oils have been primary sources of energy and fuels, such as petrodiesel. However,
significant public concerns about the sustainability, price fluctuations, and adverse …

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 …

Objective: To investigate the comparative acute health effects associated with exposures to
diesel and 75% biodiesel/25% diesel (B75) blend fuel emissions. Methods: We analyzed …

OBJECTIVE: Exposure to particulate matter air pollution may be an independent risk factor
for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; however, the biological mechanisms are unclear …

In this study we compared a “baseline” condition of uncontrolled diesel engine exhaust
(DEE) emissions generated with current (circa 2003) certification fuel to an emissions …

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 …

Background Results from epidemiological studies indicate that particulate air pollution
constitutes a hazard for human health. Recent studies suggest that diesel exhaust …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are the main components of ambient particulate materials,
including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-PAHs, heavy metals, and gaseous …
