AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE LITERATURE ON THE MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, TRANSPORT, TRANSFORMATION AND HEALTH EFFECTS OF UNREGULATED DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS

This report constitutes an initial assessment of the literature in critical areas relating to the measurement, control, atmospheric processes, and possible health effects of unregulated diesel emissions. The four major topics treated are: (1) Measurement and characterization of emissions; (2) Control technology; (3) Atmospheric transport, transformation, and microbiological assay; (4) Carcinogenic health aspects.
