Ambient air ozone (O 3) is generated photochemically from oxides of nitrogen and volatile
hydrocarbons. Inhaled O 3 causes remarkably reversible acute lung function changes and …

Background Air pollution has many effects on the health of both adults and children, but
children's vulnerability is unique. The aim of this review is to discuss the possible molecular …

Rationale: Exposure to ozone causes a decrease in spirometric lung function and an
increase in airway inflammation in healthy young adults at concentrations as low as 0.08 …

Every day, we breathe in more than 10,000 L of air that contains a variety of air pollutants
that can pose negative consequences to lung health. The respiratory mucosa formed by the …

Our lungs are exposed daily to airborne pollutants, particulate matter, pathogens as well as
lung allergens and irritants. Exposure to these substances can lead to inflammatory …

Clinical Immunology Assessing the impact of air pollution on childhood asthma morbidity: how …

Background Asthma with neutrophil predominance is challenging to treat with
corticosteroids. Novel treatment options for asthma include those that target innate immune …

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with airway hyper-
responsiveness and airflow limitation in response to specific triggers. Whereas inflammation …

Air pollution plays a critical role in asthma and may affect certain patients more than others.
Further investigation into the genetic polymorphisms that affect inflammatory responses may …

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 …
