The mutagenicity of organic solvent extracts from diesel exhaust particulate (DEP), first
noted more than 55 years ago, initiated an avalanche of diesel exhaust (DE) health effects …

Diesel engines are widely used in transport and power supply, making occupational
exposure to diesel exhaust common. Both human and animal studies associate exposure to …

Because of their small size, the specific surface areas of nanoparticulate materials (NP),
described as particles having at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm, can be large …

Small, round-shaped structures that stained like the cell nucleus were observed in the
cytoplasm of erythrocytes more than a century ago (Neumann 1869, p. 78; Howell 1891; for …

Diesel exhaust is a public health concern and contributor to both ambient and occupational
air pollution. As part of a general health assessment of multiple anthropogenic source …

The association between lung cancer and occupations with probable exposure to diesel
exhaust (DE) was studied among 2,584 cases and 5,099 hospital controls. The crudeodds …

There is growing evidence that the accumulation of DNA damage induced by fine particulate
