suspended in a gas, where it is noted that PM emissions from diesel engines are a major …

Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) is an environmental and occupational health
concern. This review examines the cellular actions of the organic and the particulate …

The effect of diesel exhaust particulate (DEP) exposure on innate, cellular and humoral
pulmonary immunity was studied using high-dose, acute-exposure rat, mouse, and cell …

Diesel motor emission is a complex mixture of hundreds of constituents in either gas or
particle form. Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is composed of a center core of elemental …

Exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) from vehicles and industry is hazardous and affects proper
function of organ systems. DE can interfere with normal physiology after acute and chronic …

Background: Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture comprised of gases and particulate matter
and is a contributor to ambient air pollution. To reduce health risks, recent changes in diesel …

Exposure to air pollutants has been correlated with an increase in the severity of asthma and
in the exacerbation of pre-existing asthma. However, whether or not environmental pollution …

In recent decades, clinicians and scientists have witnessed a significant increase in the
prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma. The factors underlying this phenomenon are …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations have been associated with mortality and
morbidity. Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are present in ambient urban air PM. Coexisting …

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