DIESEL EMISSIONS SYMPOSIUM PROCEEDINGS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-82/014 (NTIS PB82244013), 1982.
Description:
The high fuel efficiency of diesel engines is expected to result in a significant increase in the production of diesel-powered passenger cars. Major research programs were initiated in the late 1970s by governments, industry, and the academic community in order to understand the physical and chemical characteristics of emissions from the diesel engine, and the biological effects of these emissions. In October of 1981, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a Diesel Emissions Symposium to report and review the major scientific and technical information developed from these research programs. This proceedings volume contains 21 review papers and 79 short papers covering all the oral and poster presentations of the 1981 Diesel Emissions Symposium. The meeting spanned the following subject areas: diesel emissions characterization and control technology; chemical and bioassay characterization; pulmonary function, toxicology, and biochemistry; mutagenesis; carcinogenesis; exposure and risk assessment.
