Influence 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 کاملOccupational exposure to diesel exhaust fumes.
There is currently no OEL for diesel fumes in the UK. This study reports parallel measurements of airborne levels of diesel fume pollutants in nine distribution depots where diesel powered fork-lift trucks (FLTs) were in use. Correlations between individual pollutants are assessed as well as their spatial distribution. Samples were collected on board FLTs and at background positions at nine dis...
متن کاملDiesel Exhaust Exposure, Wheezing and Sneezing
The rising incidence of allergic disorders in developed countries is unexplained. Exposure to traffic related air pollutants may be an important cause of wheezing and asthma in childhood. Experimental evidence from human studies suggests that diesel exhaust particles, constituents of fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM(2.5)), may act to enhance IgE mediated aeroallergen sensitizat...
متن کاملThe Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study: II. Exposure Monitoring Surveys and Development of Exposure Groups
Air monitoring surveys were conducted between 1998 and 2001 at seven non-metal mining facilities to assess exposure to respirable elemental carbon (REC), a component of diesel exhaust (DE), for an epidemiologic study of miners exposed to DE. Personal exposure measurements were taken on workers in a cross-section of jobs located underground and on the surface. Air samples taken to measure REC we...
متن کاملGenomewide DNA methylation dynamics upon diesel exhaust exposure in asthmatics
Background Particulate air pollution can induce epigenetic changes and regulate gene expression relevant to the pathophysiology of asthma and allergic diseases. Recently, epidemiologic data suggests that there are observable acute effects of air pollution on peripheral blood DNA methylation levels of genomewide Alu and LINE-1 repeat elements, as well as certain genes involved in oxidative stres...
