Diesel Exhaust Particulates Characterization for Heavy Metals
This study was set out to characterize particulate emissions from transportation diesel engine in terms of heavy metals. The exhaust particulates from Mahindra DI engine were collected and analyzed at four different engine operating conditions namely idling, 40%, 70% and full load. It was found that as the load increases from idling to full load, the heavy metal content in particulates graduall...
متن کاملExposure to diesel exhaust particulates induces cardiac dysfunction and remodeling.
Chronic exposure to diesel exhaust particulates (DEP) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in urban residents, predisposing them to the development of several cardiovascular stresses, including myocardial infarctions, arrhythmias, thrombosis, and heart failure. DEP contain a high level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). We hypothesiz...
متن کاملComposition and size distribution of metals in diesel exhaust particulates.
This study characterizes the size distribution and composition of metals in diesel exhaust particulates (DEPs) emitting from four driving conditions. We quantified 17 metals in DEPs (34-1000 nm) with a total concentration ranging from 5.4-7.0 microg/m(3). Depending on driving conditions, ultrafine (<100 nm) and accumulation-mode DEPs carried up to 41% and 75% of the quantified metals, respectiv...
متن کاملInfluence of Alternative Exposure Estimates in the Diesel Exhaust Miners Study: Diesel Exhaust and Lung Cancer.
The landmark Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study (DEMS) studied the relationship between diesel exhaust exposure (DEE) and lung cancer mortality of workers at eight nonmetal mines who were followed from beginning of dieselization of the mines (1947-1967) through December 31, 1997. The original analyses quantified DEE exposures using exposure to respirable elemental carbon (REC) to represent DEE, and...
متن کاملAdditive Effect of Diesel Exhaust Particulates and Ozone on Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Inflammation in a Mouse Model of Asthma
Allergic airway diseases are related to exposure to atmospheric pollutants, which have been suggested to be one factor in the increasing prevalence of asthma. Little is known about the effect of ozone and diesel exhaust particulates (DEP) on the development or aggravation of asthma. We have used a mouse asthma model to determine the effect of ozone and DEP on airway hyperresponsiveness and infl...
