      <title>EFFECTS OF DIESEL EXHAUST</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/11988</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Over the past three years the author's work at the school of public health in Pittsburgh has been directed to the possible detrimental effects brought about through exposure to diesel motor exhaust.  Attention was directed to railroad workers employed in locomotive repair shops. Neither respiratory complaints nor impaired pulmonary function, could be related to this type of occupational exposure.  As a second phase in this investigation, volunteers were exposed to diesel exhaust gas for short periods are pulmonary resistance was measured.  The levels utilized for these controlled exposure are comparable to realistic values such as those found in railroad shops. No effect could be measured in these volunteers after they had been exposed at these varying levels of pollution from diesel exhaust for short periods up to one hour.]]></description>

      <title>EFFECTS EXHAUST GAS ON HEALTH OF WORKERS. PART II: MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF PULMONARY FUNCTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/10830</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Continued from Part I which included the determination of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide in exhaust from diesel locomotives in tunnels and service sheds, the present study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of these emissions on the pulmonary function of railroad personnel. Employees fell into the categories of those who work in tunnels, in the service sheds, or elsewhere where the effects of gases were present.  Data from the tests were subjected to multivariate analysis under various occupational and physiological categories in order to discover the significance of each item, elements which most influence the pulmonary function of railroad workers are their age, height, and weight.  The next largest factors are the items relating to the type of work, the location of work, and the degree of pollution of the place of work, surpassing the effect of smoking.  The place of work only reduces the pulmonary function by less than ten percent, and the effects of gases are much larger in the service sheds rather than in the tunnels, leading to the conclusion that a better ventilation system and exhaust treatment are necessary.]]></description>
