Engine exhaust emissions rank among substances possibly carcinogenic and toxic to humans. Models of human lung air-liquid interface are used to simulate the effect of exposure to engine exhaust and other mixtures containing nanoparticles. This master’s thesis describes the mechanism of how engine exhaust emissions are formed and their composition and analyses nanoparticle losses in the sampling train for a portable airliquid interface exposure chamber.
