In this episode host Mark Reggers and guest Jen Hines,
Consultant Occupational Hygienist and Lecturer at the University of
Wollongong continue where they left off and resume their discussion
on the subject matter of diesel particulate matter.
Diesel particulate matter is the particle substance within diesel
exhaust. It is a carcinogenic combination of particulates and gases
that are detrimental to one’s health. Occupational exposure can
present itself in the form of short term acute effects such as eye
and respiratory irritation through to long term chronic conditions
like heart and lung disease.
