This review aims to encapsulate the importance, ubiquity, and complexity of indoor
chemistry. We discuss the many sources of indoor air pollutants and summarize their …

There has recently been an explosion of interest in the analysis of breath constituents as a
way of monitoring inflammation and oxidative stress in the lungs. Here we review the use of …

Collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive method for obtaining
samples from the lungs. EBC contains large number of mediators including adenosine …

Ammonia (NH3) is typically present at higher concentrations in indoor air (∼ 10–70 ppb)
than in outdoor air (∼ 50 ppt to 5 ppb). It is the dominant neutralizer of acidic species in …

Analysis of various biomarkers in exhaled breath allows completely non-invasive monitoring
of inflammation and oxidative stress in the respiratory tract in inflammatory lung diseases …

Numerous acids and bases influence indoor air quality. The most abundant of these species
are CO2 (acidic) and NH3 (basic), both emitted by building occupants. Other prominent …

Behavioural responses of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to ammonia were investigated in a
modified Y-tube olfactometer. Ammonia was attractive in concentrations from 17 ppb to 17 …

Exhaled breath condensates have been widely used to detect inflammatory mediators in the
fluid that covers airway surfaces of patients with inflammatory lung disorders. This approach …

Ammonia concentrations in exhaled breath (eNH 3) and skin gas of 20 healthy subjects
were measured on-line with a commercial cavity ring-down spectrometer and compared to …

The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) approach provides a convenient and noninvasive
approach for sampling the pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF). Increased EBC …
