Health effects of diesel engine emissions. [Lead abstract]
- eds.
The Health Effects Research Laboratory of the US Environmental Protection Agency sponsored an International Symposium on the Health Effects of Diesel Engine Emissions. It was held in Cincinnati, Ohio on December 3 to 5, 1979. The Symposium brought together scientists, engineers, and Federal, state, and local public health officials for the purpose of determining the state-of-knowledge regarding the physical and chemical characteristics of diesel emissions, in vitro carcinogenic and mutagenic effects of diesel emissions and their components, their biochemical and metabolic effects, the toxicological effects of inhaled diesel emissions, the mutagenic and carcinogenic potency of extracts of diesel and related emissions, the mutagenicity of inhaled diesel emissions, the carcinogenic effects of exposure to diesel emissions, and the results of epidemiological studies involving human exposure to diesel emissions. The Symposium culminated in a panel discussion on the health risk assessment of diesel emissions. The Proceedings consist of 77 manuscripts and associated discussions, as well as the panel discussion. Separate abstracts were prepared for all 34 papers of Volume 1.
