Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's program to assess the public health significance of diesel emissions is described. The reasons for the EPA concern over diesel exhaust products are discussed. Some results of EPA research efforts over the last nine months are summarized and preliminary conclusions are drawn. Finally, the planned future health experiments which will hopefully fill some remaining gaps in our knowledge are identified.
