Background Exposure to diesel exhaust causes inflammatory responses. Previous
controlled exposure studies at a concentration of 300 μg/m 3 of diesel exhaust particles …

Several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a consistent association between levels
of particulate matter (PM) in the ambient air with increases in cardiovascular and respiratory …

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 …

Background Exposure to traffic-derived air pollutants, particularly diesel emissions, has
been associated with adverse health effects, predominantly in individuals with pre-existing …

The adverse health effects of particulate matter pollution are of increasing concern. In a
recent bronchoscopic study in healthy volunteers, pronounced airway inflammation was …

Context: Diesel exhaust (DE) is an important component in traffic-related air pollution,
associated with adverse health effects. DE generated at idling has been demonstrated to …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution adversely affects the airways, with asthmatic subjects
thought to be especially sensitive. The authors hypothesised that exposure to diesel exhaust …

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between different levels of air
pollution and various health outcomes including mortality, exacerbation of asthma, chronic …

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 …

Abstract Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are deposited into the respiratory tract
and are thought to be a risk factor for the development of diseases of the respiratory system …
