No Kidding: So Breathing Diesel Fumes isn't good for you.
How would you like to participate in this study?
I'll pass thanks. It is common sense that these types of fumes are not good for you. Your own body tells you that when you breath them.Researchers monitored 10 male volunteers who spent an hour in a room filled either with clean air or exhaust from a diesel engine. The exhaust-filled room was set to mimic the highest level that people might encounter in the environment or at work, for example on a busy road or in a garage.
Volunteers were connected to an electroencephalograph (EEG) to monitor the brain's electrical signals during exposure and for the hour afterwards.
Within 30 minutes, the participants in the exhaust room showed signs of stress on the EEG, indicating a change in the way the brain processes information.
