Background: Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that air pollution such as
diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), one of the important air pollutants, may play a role in the …

Exposure to diesel engine exhaust particles (DEPs), representing a complex and variable
mixture of components, has been linked with cellular production and release of several …

Pulmonary cells exposed to diesel exhaust (DE) particles in vitro respond in a hierarchical
fashion with protective antioxidant responses predominating at low doses and inflammation …

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

Animal studies have reported that diesel exhaust particles (DEP), which constitute an
important fraction of particulate air pollution, lead to inflammation and/or damage of the …

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 …

Diesel exhaust is the major source of ultrafine particles released during traffic-related
pollution. Subjects with chronic respiratory diseases are at greater risk for exacerbations …

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: 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 …

We have reviewed the literature relating to the health effects of diesel emissions with
particular reference to acute and chronic morbidity and to carcinogenicity. It is apparent that …
