The Influence of Soot on Evacuation Characteristics of Diesel Exhaust Particles: An Inhalational Toxicology Study

The Influence of Soot on Evacuation Characteristics of Diesel Exhaust Particles: An Inhalational Toxicology Study

DOI : 10.7731/KIFSE.6b1fab7b

Despite being a major combustion product during fires, soot's short-term inhalation effects are considered negligible, leading to its exclusion from the FED model. However, long-term soot exposure, prevalent due to air pollution, is linked to lung inflammation and other health concerns. Interestingly, the impact of chronic soot inhalation on motor ability remains largely unexplored, affecting not only occupational groups but also the broader population. This pilot study aimed to address this gap by investigating the toxicity of continuous soot inhalation through diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) in laboratory mice. We employed the open field maze text to assess changes in motor behavior following DEP exposure. Our results suggest a correlation between increased DEP inhalation, elevated lung cell inflammation, and impaired motor function in mice. Further research is warranted to quantitatively evaluate the impact of soot on motor ability.
