Increased research activity has been particularly noticeable in mobile source emissions, where initial observations on the mutagenic activity of diesel particulate extracts reported at the 1978 symposium stimulated the development of major research programs in government and industry. In the absence of appropriate reference materials, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiated comparative genotoxicity studies to determine the relative mutagenic and carcinogenic activity and, ultimately, the potential human health risk due to exposure to various complex emission products. Among the materials investigated were those of known health risk, such as coke oven and roofing tar emissions and cigarette smoke condensates, and those of unknown hazard, such as exhaust from diesel-and gasoline-powered vehicles. Studies on diesel emission products proved useful in short term bioassay development, as the die | 出版日期 | Book 1983 | 关键词 | Potential; environment; environmental protection; health; research; toxicity | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-3611-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-3613-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-3611-2 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1983 |
