  1. Values are mean ± standard deviation (SD).
  2. DE, diesel exhaust; FA, filtered air; FEV 1 , forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC, forced vital capacity; MCA 1 , minimal cross-sectional area between 0–22 mm; MCA 2 , minimal cross-sectional area between 22–45 mm.
  3. aΔ after exposure = after exposure – before exposure.
