“…These have been reported as 15 to 60% of the total oxides of nitrogen 6 and from 50 to 500 ppm. 7 These latter NO 2 values are higher than are predicted from equilibria calculations. Table I shows equilibria NO-NO2 values for air-fuel ratios of 20, 25, and 30 at temperature-pressure conditions which bracket true engine conditions.…”

“…The gaseous constituents include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of sulfur, and hydrocarbons (e.g., ethylene, formaldehyde, methane, benzene, phenol, 1,3-butadiene, acrolein, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons). 6,7,8,9 The particulate fraction (soot) is composed of solid carbon cores, produced during the combustion process, which tend to combine to form chains of particles or aggregates, the largest of which are in the respirable range (more than 95% are less than 1 micron in size). 10 Estimates indicate that as many as 18,000 different substances resulting from the combustion process may be adsorbed onto these particulates.…”

When diesel-powered equipment leaves or returns to an engine house, exhaust emissions containing diesel particulate are produced inside the apparatus bay. The diesel exhaust can enter the living quarters and be breathed by the firefighters. Limited epidemiological evidence suggests an association between occupational exposure to diesel exhaust emissions and lung cancer. Engineering controls and work practices to reduce the potential risk to firefighters from diesel exhaust emission exposures are presented in the recommendations section of this report .

These investigations are conducted under the authority of Section 20(a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 669(a)(6) which authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services, following a written request from any employers or authorized representative of employees, to determine whether any substance normally found in the place of employment has potentially toxic effects in such concentrations as used or found.HETAB also provides, upon request, technical and consultative assistance to federal, state, and local agencies; labor; industry; and other groups or individuals to control occupational health hazards and to prevent related trauma and disease. Mention of company names or products does not constitute endorsement by NIOSH. Copies of this report have been sent to employee and management representatives at TSA headquarters, TSA MIA, and the OSHA Regional Office. This report is not copyrighted and may be freely reproduced. The report may be viewed and printed from the following internet address: www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/hhesearch.html. Single copies of this report will be available for a period of three years from the date of this report. To expedite your request, include a self-addressed mailing label along with your written request to: NIOSH Publications Office 4676 Columbia Parkway Cincinnati, Ohio 45226 800-356-4674 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AVAILABILITY OF REPORTAfter this time, copies may be purchased from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) at 5825 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. Information regarding the NTIS stock number may be obtained from the NIOSH Publications Office at the Cincinnati address.For the purpose of informing affected employees, copies of this report shall be posted by the employer in a prominent place accessible to the employees for a period of 30 calendar days. Concentrations of EC, a surrogate for diesel exhaust, ranged from 5.9 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m 3 ) to 19.2 µg/m 3 . No evaluation criteria exist for EC alone, although t...
