## Abstract There has been evidence that an acute exposure of laboratory animals to nitrogen dioxide (NO~2~) for a short period of time can cause marked inhibition of pulmonary PGDH activity. Since diesel exhaust contains NO~2~, this investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of longβterm

Abstract
The effect of exposure to three concentrations of diesel exhaust on several heptic and pulmonary activities has been tested. After one year of exposure, the ability of liver microsomes to oxidize benzo[Ξ±]pyrene to more polar metabolites was not increased. Further studies with liver microsomes showed that, after several months of exposure, there was no evidence for the induction of either cytochrome Pβ450, cytochrome Pβ448 or NADPH dependent cytochrome c reductase. The ability of pulmonary microsomes to generate polar metabolites from benzo[Ξ±]pyrene was impaired after one year of exposure to the highest concentration of exhaust (1500 ΞΌg m^β3^). The process by which the exposure causes this inhibition is not clear.

## Abstract A statistically significant temporary reduction on pulmonary function was measured with spirometry in stevedores on a rollβonβrollβoff roβro ship who were exposed to diesel exhausts from trucks during a work shift. When all trucks were equipped with specially designed microfilters mount
The influence of in vivo administration of detergents on the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 system was studied in rat. Male Wistar rats were administered detergents, Emulgen 913 (50 mg or 100 mg kg-' of body weight (B.W.)), or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, 25 mg or 50 mg kg-' of B.W.) intraperito

Male rats were exposed to 0.125,0.25 or 0.5 ppm of ozone or clean air for up to 1 year. During this exposure period there was little evidence for collagen accumulation in the lungs. However, the rate of incorporation of tritriated proline into both lung collagen and total lung protein was accelerate
