The effects of the total exhaust emission with its hundreds of different compounds and potential coergisms resulting therefrom, with special reference to a potential carcinogenic or cocarcinogenic effect on the respiratory tract, can only be established using experiments which consider the exhaust with all its gaseous components and particulate matter as a whole.Long-term diesel and gasoline engine exhaust inhalatin studies with rats, hamsters and mice which have already been accomplished or are still running at the Fraunhofer-Institut f\axr Toxikologie und Aerosolforschung, aim to investigate the chronic-toxic effects, as well as the potential carcinogencity or cocarcinogenicity of exhaust emissions.The combined effects of the exhaust gases with substances which have a known carcinogenic effect on the respiratory tract are integrated into a comprehensive experimental programme as is the investigation of diesel engine exhaust gases from which particulate matter has been removed using a centrifugal separator.A description of the complex experimental plant necessary for these experiments will be given and already existing test results will be explained and discussed.
