Diesel engine exhaust emissions are a mixture of gases, vapors, liquid aerosols and particulate matter that are known to increase cardiorespiratory morbidity.On July 1, 2002, a ban was imposed on the use of diesel-operated vehicles on the Lebanese territory as a public health measure. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of this ban on the air concentration of particulate matter and on asthma-related morbidity in the Beirut area.Methods: Air sampling was done at multiple large intersections of Beirut before and after the ban using a portable high-volume air sampler equipped with glass fiber filters that capture particles of diameter greater than 0.01 microns. Each sample was collected over a period of 30 minutes. The filter was ...
