“…Whether a health effect would be seen from exposure to diesel exhaust at that time is not known. Increased cough, labored breathing, chest tightness, and wheezing 27 have been associated with exposure to diesel exhaust in bus garage workers; increased phlegm production, irritation and reduced pulmonary function tests have been reported in other publications. 28 …”

“…Whilst, both petrol and diesel engine vehicles emit gaseous and particulate hydrocarbons as a result of incomplete combustion (21), Andreou and Rapsomanikis (22) noted that past studies mainly characterised only one organic group (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). The mutagenic and other detrimental impacts of traffic generated SVOCs and NVOCs on human health has been cited in research literature (for example [4][5][6]. Therefore, this research study focused on the above mentioned seventeen traffic generated SVOCs and NVOCs.…”

Traffic generated semi and non volatile organic compounds (SVOCs and NVOCs) pose a serious threat to human and ecosystem health when washed off into receiving water bodies by stormwater. Climate change influenced rainfall characteristics makes the estimation of these pollutants in stormwater quite complex. The research study discussed in the paper developed a prediction framework for such pollutants under the dynamic influence of climate change on rainfall characteristics. It was established through principal component analysis (PCA) that the intensity and durations of low to moderate rain events induced by climate change mainly affect the wash-off of SVOCs and NVOCs from urban roads. The study outcomes were able to overcome the limitations of stringent laboratory preparation of calibration matrices by extracting uncorrelated underlying factors in the data matrices through systematic application of PCA and factor analysis (FA). Based on the initial findings from PCA and FA, the framework incorporated orthogonal rotatable central composite experimental design to set up calibration matrices and partial least square regression to identify significant variables in predicting the target SVOCs and NVOCs in four particulate fractions ranging from >300-1 μm and one dissolved fraction of <1 μm. For the particulate fractions range >300-1 μm, similar distributions of predicted and observed concentrations of the target compounds from minimum to 75th percentile were achieved. The inter-event coefficient of variations for particulate fractions of >300-1 μm were 5% to 25%. The limited solubility of the target compounds in stormwater restricted the predictive capacity of the proposed method for the dissolved fraction of <1 μm.

“…Chronic-exposure, animal inhalation studies show a spectrum of dose-dependent inflammation and histopathological changes in the lung in several animal species, including rats, mice, hamsters, and monkeys [3,[25][26]. Human studies have demonstrated exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [17].…”

Abstract-Diesel exhaust can pose a significant health risk on exposure populations and workplace can be a significant source of exposure to diesel exhaust. Because of its complex compositions and the delay of advanced technology in exposure assessment, diesel exhaust exposure assessment at workplace in relation to its health effects is understudied. More efforts are needed to clarify exposure levels that may result in adverse health effects, in particular, chronic health effects.
