Health Effects of Diesel Exhaust in Asthmatic Patients: A Real-world Study in a London Street
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Oxford street and Hyde park for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 60 participants.
Detailed Summary
Acute exposure to diesel exhaust under normal city conditions leads to a worsening of symptoms of asthma, with reduction in lung function in asthmatic nonsmoking adults, dependent on the exposure dose and on the background severity of asthma. The worsening asthma is accompanied by increased oxidative stress and inflammation in the lungs.
