Title: Atmospheric transformation of diesel emissions
Description: This report describes a study by Dr. Barbara Zielinska and colleagues to investigate the changes that fresh diesel emissions undergo when they are mixed with ambient air, due to reactions with sunlight and other pollutants. The investigators also evaluated how those changes may affect the toxic properties of diesel emissions, comparing toxicity from fresh versus degraded emission exposure in rodents.
