Background Diesel exhaust is carcinogenic and exposure to diesel particles cause health
effects. We investigated the toxicity of diesel exhaust particles designed to have varying …

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 …

Ambient particles have been consistently associated with adverse health effects, yielding
mainly high cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. Diesel engines represent a major …

Epidemiologic studies have linked diesel exhaust (DE) to cardiovascular and respiratory
morbidity and mortality, as well as lung cancer. DE composition is known to vary with many …

The physicochemical properties of combustion particles that promote lung toxicity are not
fully understood, hindered by the fact that combustion particles vary based on the fuel and …

Context: Mice are commonly used in studies investigating the effects of diesel exhaust
exposure on respiratory health. A plethora of studies in this field has resulted in a range of …

In vitro exposure to aerosols at the air–liquid interface (ALI) preserves the physical and
chemical characteristics of aerosol particles. Although frequently described as being a more …

We investigated the inflammatory response, acute phase response and genotoxic effect of
diesel exhaust particles (DEPs, NIST1650b) following a single intratracheal instillation …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are responsible for both respiratory and cardiovascular
effects. However many questions are still unravelled and the mechanisms behind the health …

Context: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are an important contributor to suspended
particulate matter (PM) in urban areas. While epidemiological evidence exists for a sex …
