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 …

Exposure to combustion emissions is associated with adverse health effects, but the
properties of the emissions that induce these effects are not fully understood. To examine …

Background and Purpose Exposure to nanoparticulate pollution has been implicated in
platelet‐driven thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction. Inflammation and …

Several epidemiological studies have recently shown associations of increased premature
mortality rates with ambient paniculate air pollution. Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) may …

Background Exposure to traffic pollution, notably diesel exhaust particles (DEP), increases
risk for asthma and asthma exacerbations. The contribution of cytokines generated by …

Background Exposure to soybean allergens has been linked to asthma outbreaks. Exposure
to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) has been associated with an increase in the risk of asthma …

Background: An epidemiologic relationship between airway allergic diseases and exposure
to atmospheric pollutants has been demonstrated and suggested to be one factor in the …

Previous experimental studies have suggested that nasal instillation of diesel exhaust
particles (DEP) can enhance nasal IgE response and cytokine production. However, there is …

Controlled human exposure experiments with diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) and ozone
serve to illustrate the important role pollutants play in modulating both allergic mechanisms …
