Planned exposures of rodents to diesel exhaust required development of an exhaust generation and delivery system flexible enough to accommodate varied experimental designs. The features of the exposure system built to meet these needs are summarized. Essential aspects including both the exhaust dilution and delivery system and the computer monitoring and control functions are described. During the first 29 weeks of a study with target particle concentrations of 350, 3500, and 7000 micrograms/m3, the achieved values were 310, 3360, and 6830 micrograms/m3 with coefficients of variation of 23, 10, and 9%, respectively. The system has now operated reliably for more than 24 months.

D005740 Gases The vapor state of matter; nonelastic fluids in which the molecules are in free movement and their mean positions far apart. Gases tend to expand indefinitely, to diffuse and mix readily with other gases, to have definite relations of volume, temperature, and pressure, and to condense or liquefy at low temperatures or under sufficient pressure.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
