The potential carcinogenic effect of inhaled automobile exhaust emissions was examined in rodents. Both rats and hamsters were exposed to the emissions from (1) a gasoline engine, (2) a gasoline engine fitted with a three-way catalytic converter, (3) a diesel engine and (4) a diesel engine with part
Male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed by inhalation for 6 h per day on one or three successive days to 0, 2, 6 or 20 ppm formaldehyde or 0, 0.2 or 0.6 ppm acrolein. Nasal and tracheal epithelial and free lung cells were then analyzed for proliferative responses. The proliferative response was expres
