Risk assessment for diesel exhaust and ozone: the data from people and animals.
Estimating and setting exposure limits for people exposed to air pollutants are complex processes. This paper discusses the information available from human and animal studies on the potential health effects of inhaled diesel exhaust and ozone. While considerable information is available, additional research is needed to clarify issues relative to establishing exposure standards and estimating risks for these two pollutants.
