Acute and chronic exposure to diesel exhaust particles impairs the survival and development of the freshwater midge Chironomus riparius

Diesel-powered vehicles contribute significantly to pollution through emission of fine particulate matter in the form of diesel exhaust particles (DEP). Significant amounts of DEP are introduced into freshwater bodies via road runoff after precipitation. These particles ultimately sink to the bottom...
