    The document summarizes a study that found a commercially available particle trap can filter 98% of microscopic pollutants from diesel engine exhaust, significantly reducing harmful particle emissions. The study also found exposure to unfiltered diesel exhaust reduced artery dilation in test subjects, indicating negative cardiovascular effects. While the small sample size limited conclusions on some secondary measures, the study provided evidence that air pollutants can negatively impact human heart health.

    Diesel-engine exhaust filter reduces harmful particles by 98 percent

    The purpose of this study is to show a commercially available particle trap can

    filter microscopic pollutants in diesel-engine exhaust and prevent about 98 percent


    of

    them from reaching the air.

    The lesson is about inhaling exhaust particles increases the risk of dying from
    heart

    and lung diseases. Air pollution, including diesel exhaust as a major contributor
    causing

    premature deaths. This study focused on cardiovascular effects in men exposed in


    the

    laboratory to diesel fumes. Equipping diesel-powered vehicles with particle filters


    could

    significantly reduce heart disease.

    The major conclusion of the study the particle trap removed about 98 percent
    of

    all particles in the diesel exhaust. Artery dilation was significantly reduced six to
    eight

    hours after exposure to unfiltered diesel exhaust.

    However this study, the researchers didn’t have the statical power to detect
    changes

    In some secondary endpoints because of the small particles. This study has
    provided an

    important piece of the puzzle of how air pollutants can affect human cardiovascular

    health.
