Summary:

The effects of the total exhaust emission with its hundreds ofdifferent compounds and potential coergisms resulting therefrom,with special reference to a potential carcinogenic orcocarcinogenic effect on the respiratory tract, can only beestablished using experiments which consider the exhaust with allits gaseous components and particulate matter as a whole.Long-term diesel and gasoline engine exhaust inhalatin studieswith rats, hamsters and mice which have already been accomplishedor are still running at the Fraunhofer-Institut f\axr Toxikologieund Aerosolforschung, aim to investigate the chronic-toxic effects,as well as the potential carcinogencity or cocarcinogenicity ofexhaust emissions.The combined effects of the exhaust gases with substances whichhave a known carcinogenic effect on the respiratory tract areintegrated into a comprehensive experimental programme as is theinvestigation of diesel engine exhaust gases from which particulatematter has been removed using a centrifugal separator.A description of the complex experimental plant necessary forthese experiments will be given and already existing test resultswill be explained and discussed
