The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) is
concerned that truck drivers' exposure to high levels of air
pollutants and mobile air toxics for potentially long periods of
time, may lead to acute and/or long term cognitive impairments as a
result. The goal of this project was to compile existing
information addressing the following question: Does exposure to
diesel exhaust at levels found in cabs affect driver safety
performance by affecting driver sleep, alertness, reaction time,
fatigue levels, or judgment-making abilities? To determine whether
such an effect exists, the Volpe National Transportation Systems
Center conducted expert interviews to obtain insight into the
question and searched the environmental and medical literature.
