Rationale: It remains unknown whether long-term ozone exposure can impair lung function.
Objectives: To investigate the associations between long-term ozone exposure and adult …

Background While the adverse effects of short-term ambient ozone exposure on lung
function are well-documented, the impact of long-term exposure remains poorly understood …

Background The relationships between short-term ozone exposure and the acute
exacerbations of asthma in adults have not been fully studied. Existing studies commonly …

Background Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with lower
pulmonary function and higher blood pressure (BP). However, controversy remains …

Background and objective: Although the association between COPD and smoking status
(non‐smoking, ex‐smoking and current smoking) and indoor air pollution in Chinese …

Ozone is known to cause bronchial inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness via
oxidative injury and inflammation. While other ambient air pollutants such as particulate …

Rationale: Acute respiratory effects of low-level ozone exposure are not well defined in older
adults. Objectives: MOSES (The Multicenter Ozone Study in Older Subjects), although …

Earlier, we found that acute ozone (O 3) exposure caused, along with inflammation, greater,
more protracted changes in small airway function (isovolumetric V˙ max at intermediate to …

Background Exposure to air pollution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). However, findings on the effects of air pollution on lung function and …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death globally
and ozone exposure is a main cause of its disease burden. However, studies on COPD …
