Epidemiological data and results of toxicity studies in experimental animals indicate the
possible health risk of diesel exhaust exposure. Acute effects of this exposure include odor …

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

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 …

The potential carcinogenic effect of inhaled automobile exhaust emissions was examined in
rodents. Both rats and hamsters were exposed to the emissions from (1) a gasoline …

Diesel engines are used extensively in transportation. In the US, Diesel engines are most
commonly used in the over-the-road trucking industry due to their power, durability and …

Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) was shown to increase the susceptibility of the
lung to bacterial infection in rats. In this study, the effects of DEP on alveolar macrophage …
