Over the past three or four decades, there have been important advances in the
understanding of the actions, exposure-response characteristics, and mechanisms of action …

Ozone is one of the most toxic and ubiquitous air pollutants. This review focuses on the toxic
effects of ozone in animals and on the similarities and disimilarities between the toxic effects …

Expired pentane, an index of lipid peroxidation, and pulmonary function were measured as
a function of exercise for 1 h with and without exposure to 0.3 ppm ozone. In experiment 1 …

Because minimal data are available regarding the pulmonary effects of ozone (O3) at levels
less than 0.27 ppm, six groups of healthy young males were exposed for 2.5 h to one of the …

The common regulatory approach for managing ground-level ozone (O 3) formation is
based upon reducing the emission of total VOC in VOC limited regions, and the emission of …

Fourteen healthy normal volunteers were randomly exposed to air and 0.5 ppm of ozone
(O3) in a controlled exposure chamber for a 2-h period during which 15 min of treadmill …

Purpose The purposes of this study were to 1) describe ambient air pollutant concentrations
present during major US marathons, 2) quantify performance decrements associated with air …

Toxic inhalants cause injury through a variety of different mechanisms, including direct
irritation of the respiratory tract mucosa, asphyxiation, and systemic absorption of the toxin …

Significant concentration responses were observed in FVC, FEV1, FEF25–75, SGaw, IC,
and TLC in 20 healthy, nonsmoking volunteers exposed randomly to 0.00, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 …

Epidemiological and environmental chamber studies in man, and toxicological studies in
animals, have provided valuable insights into the biological effects, the mechanisms of …
