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 …

Many people, including people with asthma, experience short-term exposure to diesel
exhaust (DE*) during daily activities. The health effects of such exposures, however, remain …

Inflammation after diesel exhaust and DEP exposure is evident at higher concentrations
only; there appears to be a threshold dose for DEPs approximating 300 μg/m 3. The lack of a …

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 …
