If you have been subject to diesel exhaust exposure at work, you may be in danger of experiencing serious health problems. Emitted by the engines of trucks, buses, cars powered by diesel as well as by certain machines and equipment that use diesel for power, diesel exhaust is a dangerous substance made up of gases and miniscule particles. A number of toxins are present in this mixture, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, benzene, formaldehyde, sulfuric acid and trace metals, such as arsenic and cadmium, to name a few. Some of these substances are known carcinogens, meaning they cause cancer.<\/p>\n
Although people are exposed to diesel exhaust on a somewhat regular basis due to traffic pollution, people in certain occupations are at a greater risk of developing health problems from acute and\/or prolonged exposure. Some of the symptoms of short-term exposure include eye, throat and lung irritation, headache, lightheadedness, nausea, coughing and fatigue. Allergies and asthma may also be aggravated by acute exposure for a short period of time. Long-term exposure is far more harmful, leading to chronic cough, worsening of lung disorders such as asthma, heart disease, worsening of heart conditions and lung cancer.<\/p>\n
If you work with or around diesel-powered vehicles and equipment on a regular basis, it is important to make sure you are protected from exposure. A good way to start is by testing the air. A laboratory test of an air sample where you work may reveal whether diesel exhaust gases and particulates are in the air and in what levels. It is also important to inform your doctor of your diesel exhaust exposure, as this will help him or her be aware of certain respiratory disorders or other health issues to look for in your regular exams. There are special breathing tests that can be performed as well, such as before and after work, to determine how the air you breathe may be impacting your respiratory system. These tests are particularly helpful in people already suffering from asthma or other breathing problems.<\/p>\n
