  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

Diesel exhaust is suspected to cause acute and chronic adverse effects on health. In recent. the effect of estrogenic endocrine disruptor in diesel particulate matter was little studied. Therefore, we examined the estrogenic activity of respirable diesel exhaust particulate matter derived from diesel engine motor. PM2.5 diesel exhaust of vehicle was collected using a high volume samples equipped with a cascade impactor. (omitted)
