Information is presented on the following subjects: occupational risks in the diesel reference industries; characteristics of light duty diesel vehicle emissions; potential environmental impacts of future light duty diesel vehicles; exposures of people to diesel exhaust emissions; models for evaluating health risks to people from exposures to diesel vehicle exhaust; projected health risks from future use of light duty diesel vehicles; and, research needs. Three appendixes are included. Results of computer simulation studies indicated that if diesel engines were used in 20% of future light duty vehicles, little change would be expected in urban air concentrations of vapor phase hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, nitric and nitrous acid, ozone, hydrogen perioxide, and carbon monoxide. Several methods were developed to estimate cancer risk in people exposed to diesel exhaust particles. Results of two of the methods indicated that there would be 0.1 and 0.15 cancers per 100,000 people per mu g/m exp 3 average lifetime exposure to diesel particles. (ERA citation 07:044649)
