HEALTH EFFECTS OF DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS: PROCEEDINGS OF AN INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM HELD AT CINCINNATI, OHIO ON DECEMBER 3-5, 1979. VOLUME I

The purpose of this Symposium was to bring together scientists and engineers from the public and private sectors to discuss their research findings on the health effects of diesel engine emissions and to conclude with a discussion of health risk assessment of diesel exhaust. The Proceedings are organized into eight main sections corresponding to the format of the Symposium and addressing Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Diesel Emissions, In Vitro Carcinogenic and Mutagenic Effects of Diesel Emissions and Components, and Biochemical and Metabolic Effects. The Proceeding papers, in some cases, are more comprehensive than the original presentations in order to provide more thorough coverage of the particular topic. Edited discussions are included with each paper and wherever possible the identity of each questioner is indicated. The list of registrants will enable the reader to contact a speaker for further information.
