A recent study measured the effects of diesel exhaust on heart and blood vessel function in men who have previously experienced a heart attack. The research found that inhalation of diesel exhaust caused changes in the heart's electrical activity, suggesting that air pollution reduces the amount of oxygen available to the heart during exercise.
